Differentiation of melanoma and benign nevi by fluorescence in-situ hybridization

Malignant melanoma is sometimes difficult to distinguish from benign nevus, and ancillary confirmatory studies would be of value in selected cases. To accurately differentiate melanoma from benign nevus, the utility of chromosomal anomalies was investigated in skin biopsy specimens using multitargeted fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH). Skin biopsy specimens were retrospectively collected from 63 patients diagnosed […]
