Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization for Distinguishing Nevoid Melanomas From Mitotically Active Nevi

Abstract excerpt

Nevoid melanoma may resemble benign compound or intradermal nevi by their silhouette and profile on low power. Higher power usually reveals nuclear atypia, confluence of cells, incomplete maturation and dermal mitotic activity. However, to some extent all of these features maybe seen in benign compound or intradermal nevi and no single criteria can be used to differentiate nevoid melanoma from a benign nevus. The...
