Survivin expression in melanocytic nevi

Nevus type	Epidermal	Dermal
Dysplastic	+ (2), ++ (4)	+ (2), ++ (4)
Compound	+ (5), ++ (1)	− (1), + (2), ++ (3)
Intradermal	NEC	+ (4), ++ (2)
Neurotized	NEC	+ (5), ++ (1)*
Spitz	NEC (2), − (1), + (3)	NDC (1), − (1), + (3), ++ (1)

NEC, no epidermal component; NDC, no dermal component.

Staining and was scored semiquantitatively as absent (−), weak or focal (+), or strong (++). All lesions had detectable levels of survivin in the epidermal and/or dermal components.

^*Four of six lesions with expression in neurotized component.
