Abstract
The histopathological diagnosis of malignant melanoma remains the gold standard to allow the patient to access the entire process of the diagnostic-therapeutic-assistance path. Despite the continuous search for markers that can assist in the diagnostic process, there are cases that remain complex to diagnose, and the presence of different criteria among dermatopathologists further complicates the issue. This section will focus on the state of the art of dermatopathological diagnostics of melanoma, starting from the morphological bases up to the latest acquisitions of immunohistochemistry for diagnostic purposes, and molecular biology for therapeutic purposes. Furthermore, we will focus on particularly “challenging” MM histotypes and on what are the current guidelines for a correct diagnosis.
