Fixation
- Generally: Buffered 4% formaldehyde.[1]
- Suspected immunologic disease:[2] Fixation for immunofluorescence, with for example Michel's solution.[1] For details, see immunofluorescense of skin tissues

Presentations
Dark skin focalities
Skin with one or more areas that are darker than the surroundings.
Microscopic evaluation
Evaluation is largely based on the relative incidence and malignancy of various differential diagnoses (see pie chart). Main approaches are:
- Direct pattern recognition
- Systematic
- Pattern recognition
Melanocytic nevus
Melanoma
Blue nevus
_(2797064219).jpg)
- Systematic
By their relative incidences, one practical approach is:
- Is it a dysplastic (melanocytic) nevus? If not:
- Is it a melanoma? If not:
- Compare to patterns of various other possibilities.
