(cell) nest/nest (of cells)


Explanation:
It's as straightforward as that. A group or collection of melanocytes.



Example sentence(s):
  • Melanocytic nevi represent proliferations of melanocytes that are in contact with each other, forming small collections of cells known as nests.
  • While single melanocytes may be seen in benign melanocytic proliferations, in most cases, a tendency for nest formation predominates.
