Suspected dysplastic nevus (also called dysplastic melanocytic nevus).
Evaluation
Swedish approach
Review of clinical information, mainly:[1]
- Growth
- Abnormal visual appearance
- Size >10mm
Microscopy: Mandatory findings:[1]
- Shoulder phenomenon, meaning that the extent of the dermal component is larger than the epidermal component.
- Lentiginous proliferation, meaning an increased amount of melanocytes in the basal area, along rete pegs and sometimes between them.
- Irregularly distributed nests of melanocytes.
- Atypia
Classify into either of the following:
| Parameter | Low-grade dysplasia | High-grade dysplasia | Suspected melanoma in situ | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mild | Moderate | Severe | |||
| Structural (Low mag.) |
Delimitation[1] | Rarely diffuse | Sometimes diffuse | Often diffuse | |
| Lentiginous proliferation[notes 1][1] | 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 | |
| Bridging[1] | Rarely | Often | |||
| Confluent nests[1] | Rarely | Sometimes | Often | Often widespread | |
| Pigment distribution[1] | Regular | Irregular | |||
| Suprabasal presence[1] (less than most superficial third of epidermis) | No | Yes | Yes, multifocal | ||
| Pagetoid migration including superficial third of epidermis[1] | No | No | Yes, in a maximum of 2 HPF centrally, but not peripherally |
Yes, multifocal and/or in periphery | |
| Cellular (high mag.) |
Nuclear pleomorphism[2] | Slight | Prominent | ||
| Chromatin pattern[2] | Usually thin | Usually granular | |||
| Nucleolus[2] | Usually inconspicuous | Usually prominent | |||
| Histological regression[2][notes 2] | Usually | Usually not | |||
Notes
- ↑ Lentiginous proliferation is proliferation along the basal layer of the epidermis
- ↑ 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this means complete or partial disappearance from areas of the dermis (and occasionally from the epidermis), which have been replaced by fibrosis, accompanied by melanophages, new blood vessels, and a variable degree of inflammation.
