Abstract excerpt
Melanocytic tumors with inactivation of protein kinase A regulatory subunit-α (PRKAR1A) have large oval nuclei and intense pigmentation. Historically, these tumors have been categorized under various names, including epithelioid blue nevus, pigmented epithelioid melanocytoma (PEM) and animal-type melanoma. Although a subset of PEM harbor BRAF activating mutations and biallelic inactivation of PRKAR1A, there are...
