They are larger than common moles (5–15 mm in diameter) and often variegated (tan to dark brown to
pink). They occur in both sun-exposed and sun protected areas, more commonly the back, chest,
buttocks, breasts, and scalp. Since they grow through lateral extension, they often assume the configuration
of a fried egg, with a central papule and a surrounding macular area of differing pigmentation. Due to their
lateral extension, they have notched and poorly defined rims.
