Lahknevus

Lahknevus is not recognized as a standard medical term in major dermatology references or databases. As such, the term may be a misspelling, a local or informal label, or a fictional term. No clinical criteria, epidemiology, or treatment guidelines exist under this name.

In dermatology, the word nevus refers to a benign skin lesion of melanocytes, commonly called a mole. Nevi are usually pigmented and well defined, and they can be congenital or acquired. Most nevi are harmless, but changes in size, color, shape, or surface can indicate malignant transformation.

Common categories include congenital melanocytic nevus, common acquired melanocytic nevus, atypical/dysplastic nevus, blue nevus, and Spitz nevus. Evaluation often uses dermoscopy and may involve biopsy if there are suspicious features. Management depends on type, size, location, and risk factors, and may include observation or excision.

If you encountered "lahknevus" in a specific text, verify the spelling, check the source’s glossary, or consult a clinician for clarification. Clarifying the term with the author or publisher can help determine whether it refers to a named condition, a regional term, or a misprint.
