Fluorescence in situ hybridization for distinguishing cellular blue nevi from blue nevus-like melanoma

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Blue nevus-like melanomas are melanomas that arise in association with blue nevi or closely simulate the histopathologic appearance of a blue nevus, usually a cellular blue nevus (CBN). Although the majority of CBN can be readily distinguished from blue nevus-like melanoma by conventional microscopy, there are a subset of cases where this distinction may be exceedingly difficult or impossible....
