Spitz melanocytoma vs melanoma: a case involving the use of molecular testing
This case is of a melanocytic lesion that was eventually classified as a spitzoid melanoma, after molecular testing. The differential diagnosis was between a Spitz melanocytoma (Atypical Spitz tumour) and a spitzoid melanoma. This is a subjective and ambiguous area of pathology, where the use of molecular testing can provide useful diagnostic information. In this case, a BRAF V600E mutation, and lack of kinase fusions, led to the diagnosis of a spitzoid melanoma, rather than a true member of the Spitz family.
期刊介绍:
This monthly review journal aims to provide the practising diagnostic pathologist and trainee pathologist with up-to-date reviews on histopathology and cytology and related technical advances. Each issue contains invited articles on a variety of topics from experts in the field and includes a mini-symposium exploring one subject in greater depth. Articles consist of system-based, disease-based reviews and advances in technology. They update the readers on day-to-day diagnostic work and keep them informed of important new developments. An additional feature is the short section devoted to hypotheses; these have been refereed. There is also a correspondence section.
