Comparison of dermal nevus and suspected invasive melanoma   edit
Parameter Non-dysplastic dermal nevus Low-grade dysplastic dermal nevus High-grade dysplastic dermal nevus Suspected invasive melanoma
Mild dysplasia Moderate dysplasia Severe dysplasia
Macroscopic Lateral circumscription[1] Sharp Slightly diminished Moderate Poor
Excised melanoma in situ.jpg
Symmetry[1] Good Often broken Rare
Structural
(Low
mag.)
Micrograph Histopathology of non-dysplastic dermal nevus, low magnification.jpg Histopathology of invasive acral lentiginous melanoma.jpg
Delimitation[2] Rarely diffuse Sometimes diffuse Often diffuse
Confluent nests[2] Rarely Sometimes Often Often widespread
Pigment distribution[2] Regular Irregular
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
Cellular
(high
mag.)
Micrographs Histopathology of dermal nevus, high magnification.jpg Histopathology of nodular melanoma, high magnification.jpg
Nuclear size[1] Small Medium Large Medium or large. Pleomorphic[3]
Nuclear pleomorphism[4] Slight superficial 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] Small Medium Large Usually[4] large
Mitoses[1] Few superficial Superficial and deep
Histological regression[4][notes 1] Usually Usually not
Percentage of atypical melanocytes[2] <10% About 10 - 50% about 50-90% Usually> 90%

In suspected but not certain nevus or melanoma, generally perform immunohistochemistry with SOX10, whereby melanocyte proliferation and nuclear pleomorphism is easier to see:[notes 2]

Notes

  1. 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this means complete or partial disappearance from areas of the dermis (and occasionally from the epidermis), which have been replaced by fibrosis, accompanied by melanophages, new blood vessels, and a variable degree of inflammation.
