Abstract excerpt
Spitz nevus is a benign melanocytic neoplasm that can be difficult or impossible to histologically distinguish from melanoma. We have recently described copy number increases of chromosome 11p in a subset of Spitz nevi. To study the molecular and histological features of this group, we studied 102 Spitz nevi for 11p copy number increases using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on tissue arrays. Copy...
