Appropriate use criteria for ancillary diagnostic testing in dermatopathology: New recommendations for 11 tests and 220 clinical scenarios from the American Society of Dermatopathology Appropriate Use Criteria Committee. J Cutan Pathol. 2022 Mar;49(3):231–245. doi: 10.1111/cup.14135. Epub 2021 Oct 19. PMID: 34536035.

In Table 2, the qRT-PCR AUC for clinical scenario “Adult patient with pathology suggestive or suspicious for melanoma: atypical Spitz tumor vs spitzoid melanoma” is 5.5 (1.4) and was shaded in white. It should be shaded in blue (“consensus of uncertain appropriateness”), not white (“no consensus”), since the standard deviation is <2.

In Table 2, the qRT-PCR AUC for clinical scenario “Adult patient with pathology suggestive or suspicious for melanoma: incompletely sampled unclassified Spitz tumor vs spitzoid melanoma” is 5.8 (2.0) and was shaded blue. It should be shaded in white, not blue, since the standard deviation is 2.0.

In Table 2, the qRT-PCR AUC for clinical scenario “Pediatric with pathology suggestive or suspicious for melanoma: Incompletely sampled unclassified Spitz tumor vs spitzoid melanoma” is 5.4 (2.1) and was shaded blue. It should be shaded in white, not blue, since the standard deviation is <2.

We apologize for these three errors.
