Juvenile melanocytic acral nevus: A comparative study between MANIAC and non‐MANIAC nevus and its clinicopathological characteristics

Melanocytic acral nevi have a series of distinguishing features, including their location, patient age at onset, clinical progression, and histological findings. In particular, histopathological analysis often reveals a melanocytic acral nevus with intraepidermal ascent of cells (MANIAC nevus), which in some cases can be mistaken for atypia or malignancy.
