Objective: To analyze the frequency and characteristics of enlarging common melanocytic nevi.Design: Cohort study using digital epiluminescence microscopy (ELM) for documentation and follow-up, with a median follow-up interval of 11.4 months.Setting: A dermatology department at a university hospital in Vienna, Austria.Patients: One thousand six hundred twelve melanocytic nevi appearing clinically as common nevi, obtained from 385 patients (mean [+/-SD] age, 34.2 +/- 14.8 y; 55.6% female).Interventions: Follow-up examination and documentation by digital ELM.Main Outcome Measures: Frequency of enlarging nevi according to age and comparison of ELM features observed in enlarging and nonenlarging nevi.Results: Enlargement was found in 5.3% (n = 86) of nevi. The frequency of enlarging nevi was inversely related to age (P
