Abstract

Giant congenital melanocytic nevi (GCMN) are rare benign congenital melanocytic proliferations. Malignant transformation of these lesions is even rarer. This case report might be the first to describe the cytomorphological features of amelanotic melanoma of the lumbosacral region arising from GCMN in infancy, diagnosed by fine needle aspiration, highlighting the diagnostic challenges and technical difficulties encountered.

期刊介绍： The aim of Cytopathology is to publish articles relating to those aspects of cytology which will increase our knowledge and understanding of the aetiology, diagnosis and management of human disease. It contains original articles and critical reviews on all aspects of clinical cytology in its broadest sense, including: gynaecological and non-gynaecological cytology; fine needle aspiration and screening strategy. Cytopathology welcomes papers and articles on: ultrastructural, histochemical and immunocytochemical studies of the cell; quantitative cytology and DNA hybridization as applied to cytological material.
