The development and growth of the nevus in infancy and childhood has previously been reported (1, 2, 3, 4). The number of nevi in people over 50 has been found to be approximately 4 per person (5). The number of nevi appearing on the skin in early adult life has been estimated to be from 15 to 30 (5, 6, 7, 8, 9). These figures, however, have not been substantiated by removal and examination of the nevi. Since it is our belief that nevi disappear in older age, the actual number of nevi occurring on the skin in early adult life would establish a base line for evaluating the disappearance of nevi. The object of this study is to determine the number and types of nevi present on the entire skin surface of twenty white volunteers between 20 and 25 years of age, by removal and histopathological evaluation of all lesions which clinically appeared to be nevi.
