BACKGROUND
The management of dysplastic nevi is controversial. No studies have collected data regarding management of the lesion amongst Canadian dermatologists.
OBJECTIVE
To provide a comprehensive review of what the prevailing opinions are, regarding treatment and terminology of dysplastic nevi, amongst Canadian dermatologists.
METHODS
An online survey of 25 questions was e-mailed to 613 members of the Canadian Dermatology Association, in French and English.
RESULTS
A total of 179 responses were received. Varying numbers of participants completed each question. The majority of participants think that the term dysplastic nevus should not be abandoned, and they indicated that they never reexcise lesions with mild to moderate atypia even when the margins are positive.
CONCLUSIONS
The majority of Canadian dermatologists retain the use of the term dysplastic nevus and do not reexcise lesions with mild to moderate atypia even when the margins are positive.
