Melanocytic Nevi

The rising number of incidences of melanoma has led to increased interest in the disease from diagnostic, management, and basic science perspectives.The Melanocytic Proliferation describes the pathobiology of pigmented melanocytic lesions, and provides guidelines for their diagnosis and management as they affect the skin and mucosas. Extensively illustrated, this book is divided into four parts: the biology of melanocytes and malignant melanoma; nonmelanocytic lesions (e.g., lentigo, congenital nevi, compound nevi); melanocytic lesions with the potential to develop as melanoma (e.g., dysplastic nevi); and malignant melanoma (e.g., radial and vertical growth phases).Offering extensive discussions of each lesion, The Melanocytic Proliferation covers clinical applications, histology, differential diagnostic features, diagnostic algorithms, immunohistochemistry, electromicroscopy, and, where applicable, treatment, prognosis, and adjuvant therapy. The Melanocytic Proliferation is an excellent and indispensable resource for dermatologists, pathologists, dermapathologists, and surgical pathologists.

Pathology of Melanocytic Nevi and Malignant Melanoma

Congenital melanocytic nevus - The congenital melanocytic nevus is a type of melanocytic nevus (or mole) found in infants at birth. Occuring in about 1% of infants in the United States, it is located in the area of the head and neck 15% of the time.

Nevi'im - Nevi'im [נביאים] or Prophets is the second of the three major sections in the Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible).

HMB-45 - HMB-45 is a monoclonal antibody that reacts against an antigen present in melanocytic tumors such as melanomas. It is used in anatomic pathology as a marker for such tumors.

MART-1 - MART-1 / Melan-A is a protein antigen found on melanocytes. Antibodies against the antigen are used in the medical specialty of anatomic pathology in order to recognize cells of melanocytic differentiation, useful for the diagnosis of a melanoma.
