Melanoma with concomitant banal nevus. Maybe developed on the last one but who knows...

Melanoma on top of a nevus.

There is a trizonal pattern, with a lentiginous junctional proliferation of atypical melanocytes at the top, a residual nevus at the bottom and a dermal scar in between. That would be reminiscent of a recurrent nevus...

Looks like a melanoma (small cell)  that has developed within a precursor naevus. The junctional component is quite worrying. There is some dermal regression, aggregates of atypical melanocytes are noted, along with a banal component. A p16 may help in highlighting the precursor naevus.

Nevoid melanoma. Very difficult case. The panel with the super small cells is the focus of residual nevus but even the areas that look like maturing nevus cells within the dermis consist of nevoid or small cell melanoma. Was sent out in consultation to UCSF who agreed, with array CGH analysis supporting a melanoma profile.
