Comparison of congenital pattern nevus, dysplastic nevus and suspected melanoma   edit
Parameter Non-atypical congenital pattern Low-grade dysplastic nevus High-grade dysplastic nevus Suspected melanoma in situ
Mild dysplasia Moderate dysplasia Severe dysplasia
Macroscopic Lateral circumscription[1] Sharp Slightly diminished Moderate Poor

Symmetry[1] Good Often broken Rare
Structural
(Low
mag.)
Delimitation[2] Rarely diffuse Sometimes diffuse Often diffuse
Lentiginous proliferation[note 1][2] Yes, along with rete pegs Yes, along with and focally between rete pegs Yes, along with and focally between rete pegs Yes partially continuous, multilayered
Histopathology of lentigo maligna.jpg
Bridging[2] Rarely Often
Confluent nests[2] Rarely Sometimes Often Often widespread
Pigment distribution[2] Regular Irregular
Suprabasal presence (less than most superficial third of subcorneal epidermis) Occasionally centrally[1] No[2] or rarely[1] Occasionally centrally[1] Yes, multifocal[2]
Pagetoid migration including superficial third of subcorneal epidermis[2] No No Yes, in a maximum of 2 HPF centrally, but not peripherally Yes, multifocal and/or in periphery
Peripheral.
Extended rete pegs Ocassional[1] Yes, regular[2] Yes, varying[2] Yes, often irregular[2] Varying, flattened[2]
Concentric fibrosis Regressive[1] Yes[2] Occasional[1]
Lamellar fibrosis Rarely[2] Often[2] Often pronounced[2] Occasional[1]
Lymphocytic infiltrate[2] Mild, perivascular Mild or moderate, perivascular Varying Varying
Suprapapillary plate involvement No[1] Usually no[1] Often[1] Yes[1]
Cellular
(high
mag.)
Image Compound nevus with moderate atypia.jpg
Junctional extension[1] Unusual Usual Extensive
Nuclear size[1] Age-related Small Medium Large Medium or large. Pleomorphic[3]
Nuclear pleomorphism[4] Slight Prominent
Chromatin pattern Uniform[1] Condensed[1] Partically expanded[1] Expanded, coarse in some cells[1] Expanded, hyperchromatic, coarse.[1] Usually granular.[4]
Nucleoli[1] Age-related Small Medium Large Usually[4] large
Mitoses[1] Few superficial Superficial and deep
Histological regression[4][note 2] Usually Usually not
Percentage of atypical melanocytes[2] <10% About 10 - 50% about 50-90% Usually> 90%
Intradermal melanocytic atypia[2] No Rarely, in superficial part Can be detected in superficial part
Intradermal melanocyte maturation[2] Yes Yes, can be partial Yes, can be partial Variable

In suspected but not certain nevus or melanoma in situ, generally perform immunohistochemistry with SOX10, whereby melanocyte proliferation and nuclear pleomorphism is easier to see.[note 3]

Notes

  1. Lentiginous proliferation is proliferation along the basal layer of the epidermis
  2. Histological regression is one or more areas within a tumor in which neoplastic cells have disappeared or decreased in number. In this case, this means complete or partial disappearance from areas of the dermis (and occasionally from the epidermis), which have been replaced by fibrosis, accompanied by melanophages, new blood vessels, and a variable degree of inflammation.
