    So, atypical melanocytic cells could describe both MIS or a dysplastic Nevis.  It's a matter of degrees along with analyzing the other factors.  they look at all the factors like architecture and cell atypical and other things to come up with a final diagnosis.  It's a matter of degrees and in some instances, there isn't a lot of difference between the two diagnoses.
