Abstract excerpt
Desmoplastic melanomas (DMs) are often challenging to diagnose and ancillary tests, such as immunohistochemistry, have limitations. One challenge is distinguishing DM from benign desmoplastic melanocytic neoplasms. In this study, we explored the utility of next-generation sequencing data in the diagnosis of DMs versus desmoplastic Spitz nevi (DSN) and desmoplastic nevi (DN). We sequenced 47 cases and retrieved 12...
