I have recently known this entity in this site, it was a nested in situ melanoma ( P.McKee ), but in this case it would be a nested invasive melanoma...I've never diagnosed this entity before...So i will try to learn something about...

The patient isn't an elderly person, and the lesions site isn't a solar exposed one. I see only subtle atypia ( no nuclear membrane chromatin accentuation, no nucleola )...

Agree with nested melanoma as Kutzner et al. proposed. There is a Borst Jadassohn like phenomenon, we had a similar case recently.

Based on the information provided and histology we have to say thin atypical melanocytic proliferation uncertain for malignancy (i.e. a MELTUMP). To quote the paper cited by Raul "...consider ancillary tests such as aCGH to confirm the diagnosis in difficult cases. Close communication with the clinician and correlation of the clinical, dermatoscopic, and pathological findings is critical to ensure accurate diagnosis."

Sorry for the delay in posting, the website was down. Yes, we too were concerned about this lesion and made a diagnosis similar to Dr. Carr, i.e., atypical compound melanocytic proliferation. We asked that the lesion be completely excised (narrow rim of normal skin). Analysis via aCGH did not support the diagnosis of melanoma.
