Abstract excerpt
BRCA1-associated Protein 1 (BAP1)-inactivated melanocytic nevi/tumors (BIMT) have distinct morphologic features. A typical case exhibits a biphasic population of cytologically bland conventional melanocytes and a second proliferation of larger epithelioid melanocytes with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm. The vast majority of cases harbor BRAF V600E in both components with bi-allelic inactivation of BAP1 in the...
