Sophie Spitz

Sophie Spitz (February 4, 1910 – August 11, 1956) was an American pathologist who published the first case series of “juvenile melanoma” (a special form of benignmelanocytic nevi), skin lesions that became known as Spitz nevi.. For her contributions to pathology, and especially her foresight in advocating the use of the Pap test, she is recognized as the preeminent pathologist of her time.
