Abstract
A recent study described a distinctive subset of dysplastic nevi in older patients, genetically characterized by non-BRAFV600E driver mutations and frequent TERT promoter mutations. It has been proposed that these lesions overlap with the so-called lentiginous dysplastic nevi of the elderly. We explore this relationship in a series of 24 atypical lentiginous melanocytic proliferations, correlating with ex vivo dermoscopy, as well as immunohistochemical and molecular findings. We also discuss the utility of the MPATH-Dx tool to improve consensus for such lesions.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Cutaneous Pathology publishes manuscripts broadly relevant to diseases of the skin and mucosae, with the aims of advancing scientific knowledge regarding dermatopathology and enhancing the communication between clinical practitioners and research scientists. Original scientific manuscripts on diagnostic and experimental cutaneous pathology are especially desirable. Timely, pertinent review articles also will be given high priority. Manuscripts based on light, fluorescence, and electron microscopy, histochemistry, immunology, molecular biology, and genetics, as well as allied sciences, are all welcome, provided their principal focus is on cutaneous pathology. Publication time will be kept as short as possible, ensuring that articles will be quickly available to all interested in this speciality.
