Atypical Melanocytic Lesions | Skin Cancer And Reconstructive Surgery ...
Atypical melanocytic lesions are pigmented moles that have been found to have abnormal cells and are assumed to be at risk for developing into a malignant melanoma. These lesions, once diagnosed as atypical, are typically excised to eliminate the risk of cancer.

The WHO 2018 classification of melanocytic tumors sets forth nine pathways to melanoma , seven of which being primary cutaneous , by largely transposing a previously proposed “multidimensional” pathogenetic scheme based on: i) the role of ultraviolet (UV) radiation; ii) the cell (or tissue) of origin; iii) driving and/or recurrent genomic ...
Melanocytic nevi and melanoma: unraveling a complex relationship
Melanocytic nevi are neoplasms resulting from the proliferation of melanocytes, the normal pigment-producing cells in the skin. Nevi are growth arrested, clonal neoplasms of melanocytes initiated by well-defined oncogenic mutations in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, most commonly by BRAF V600E -activating mutation.
