Pathology report confirmed Sptiz Nevus, excision performed to clear margins. Do I use Malignant codes?
 
It is my understanding that a Spitz Nevus, which actually my daughter had, is benign. It has the charateristics of a melanoma, but is a "juvenile benign nevus". So, malignant excision would not be appropriate.
