Gene expression signature as an ancillary method in the diagnosis of desmoplastic melanoma.

Abstract excerpt

Desmoplastic melanoma (DM) is a rare fibrosing variant of melanoma that can be difficult to diagnose. One of the diagnostic challenges is its distinction from a melanocytic nevus with desmoplasia. Here we investigate the use of a 23-gene signature, which has previously been shown to distinguish benign from malignant melanocytic neoplasms. We assessed 50 cases with a differential diagnostic consideration of DM...
