Expanding the Spectrum of Microscopic and Cytogenetic Findings Associated With Spitz Tumors With 11p Gains

Abstract excerpt

A subset of Spitz tumors is associated with a copy number increase of chromosome 11p and activating mutations of HRAS. These aberrations have been reported to occur in association with desmoplastic Spitz nevi. Little is known to what extent 11p gains can also be found in nondesmoplastic tumors. To learn more about the spectrum of microscopic and cytogenetic changes that can be seen in Spitz lesions in association...
