Spindle and epithelioid cell (Spitz) nevus and variants -- 6. Vulvar nevus and malignant melanoma -- 7. Dysplastic nevus -- 8. Problems in various subtypes of malignant melanoma -- 9. Primary versus metastatic malignant melanoma -- 10. Special features of premalignant and malignant conjunctival melanocytic lesions -- 11. Âcial variants of malignant melanoma -- 12. Âproach to microstaging of primary melanoma and evaluation of prognostic -- variables -- 13. Ancillary techniques in diagnosing melanocytic lesions -- 14. Molecular classification and molecular targeted therapy of melanoma .
Melanocytic Lesions: A Case Based ApproachÂvides a concise yet comprehensive guidelineÂhow to diagnose common as well as problematic and challenging melanocytic lesions.ÂIn the first 11 chapters, each entityÂillustrated by an actual case; followed by discussion of how the diagnosis is reached, of the histologic differential diagnoses, and of diagnostic pitfalls; and ends with bulleted teaching points.ÂPertinent and up to date references included at the end of each chapter. The latter chaptersÂer current microstaging and classification of melanoma, ancillary techniques including immunohistochemistry as well as available molecular assays and molecular targeted therapy.Âlanocytic Lesions: A Case Based Approach serves as a useful resource for pathologists, dermatologists and researchers dealing with melanocytic lesions.Â.
