Two hundred and thirty-five Korean young men were examined for the count of melanocytic nevi (MN). The mean count of common MN of at least 2 mm diameter was 16.1. Three subjects had more than 50 common MN and another four had clinically atypical MN. We determined skin phototype by interview with questionnaires in the same persons as proposed by Fitzpatrick. All subjects were classified with respect to skin phototype and the number of previous sunburns. The correlations between common MN and the skin phototype or the number of previous sunburns were statistically analyzed. The skin phototype showed the correlation with the number of common MN, which means if skin phototype of any subject belongs to type I, he could to be predicted to have many more common MN than subjects with darker phototypes, like type VI. The correlation between number of previous sunburns and number of common MN was not statistically significant. This study shows persons at moderate risk of cutaneous melanoma (CM) do exist and skin phototype is associated with the prevalence of common MN in Koreans.
对235名韩国年轻男性进行了黑素细胞痣（MN）计数检查。直径至少为2毫米的普通MN的平均计数为16.1。三名受试者有超过50个普通MN，另外四名有临床非典型MN。我们按照Fitzpatrick提出的方法，通过问卷调查对同一批人进行访谈来确定皮肤光型。根据皮肤光型和既往晒伤次数对所有受试者进行分类。对普通MN与皮肤光型或既往晒伤次数之间的相关性进行了统计分析。皮肤光型与普通MN的数量存在相关性，这意味着如果任何受试者的皮肤光型属于I型，可以预测其普通MN的数量会比光型较深的受试者（如VI型）多得多。既往晒伤次数与普通MN数量之间的相关性无统计学意义。这项研究表明，确实存在患皮肤黑色素瘤（CM）中度风险的人群，并且皮肤光型与韩国人普通MN的患病率相关。
