definition: moles (nevi) with special appearance that are more likely to become cancerous than normal moles. Usually they are larger than normal moles and have irregular borders and colors. They may be flat or raised. Diagnosis requires a biopsy . Dysplastic nevi seem normal first but they can change in appearance when the body goes through important changes such as puberty or pregnancy. A small number of these moles can turn into melanoma.
