Histopathology, morphometry, and nuclear DNA content of iris melanocytic lesions.
PURPOSE To compare the histologic, morphometric and nuclear DNA content of a group of benign and malignant melanocytic lesions of the iris. METHODS Forty-four surgically excised melanocytic lesions of the iris were histologically classified as nevus or melanoma. Morphometric analysis using a digital filar micrometer (LaSICO 1602N-10 and 5-4A) measured the mean size of the 10 largest nucleoli,...

In conclusion, the 2 patients presented herein and those described by Springer et al demonstrate that, in addit...
متن کاملHistopathological characteristics of small diameter melanocytic naevi.
BACKGROUND/AIMS The clinical definition of an atypical naevus ("dysplastic naevus" or "naevus with architectural disorder and cytological atypia of melanocytes") stresses size larger than 5 mm in diameter as a major diagnostic criterion. Because malignant melanomas and their precursors may arise in smaller lesions, a histological study of melanocytic lesions smaller than 4 mm in diameter was co...
