Dysplastic Naevus Syndrome? There is a bunch of doctors/researchers who are telling that there isn't such a thing as dysplatic naevus. Well, of course you have that special looking mole, but the term "dysplatic" is misleading and also the concept that there is a development of moles from benign to cancerous. A mole was either always a melanoma (or a melanoma inside a mole) or it was and is a normal mole (and will be one).

I hope I can remember to ask my Dr. about this next time I go in.
My dermatologist is Dr. Marghoo, he writes a lot of the books on melanomas and is one of the biggest experts in the world in this matter. I think he would say it exist but I can ask him next time.
