Thus, when examining an SLN, it may be very important to study the original melanoma and to compare the morphologic features, particularly to distinguish metastatic cells from macrophages or nevus cells (see also below the section on differential diagnosis).

Furthermore, another common patient-mentioned provoking factor for HN was physical trauma (including scratching and friction), which could injure the nevus cells and cause the release of some covert autoantigens by nevomelanocytes and the subsequent inflammatory infiltration.
