Abstract excerpt
There is concern that BRAF mutant naevus cells admixed with melanoma cells could cause false positive mutation tests in BRAF wild-type melanomas. We sought to assess the frequency of BRAF(V600E) mutations in primary melanomas arising with/without associated naevi and determine BRAF(V600E) concordance between melanomas and associated naevi. Formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue from 57 patients with...
