2016, Seminars in Diagnostic PathologyCitation Excerpt :Deep involvement of the corium and perineural involvement are common, but those features are usually seen only in generous biopsies. The neoplastic cells of DM have elongated nuclei, and the cytoplasm almost always is devoid of melanin.85–87 The cytological features of DMs may be bland, modestly atypical, or overtly aberrant (Fig. 8).

2013, Journal of the American Academy of DermatologyCitation Excerpt :The conflicting reports about prognosis may be a result of the lack of precise and uniformly applied pathologic criteria for classification and the inclusion of a heterogenous mix of DM cases. Before the separation of pDM and mDM, various studies categorized tumors as DM even if they consisted of spindle cell neurotropic tumors with only minor desmoplasia.1,33,34,38 Therefore, it is recommended that these pathologic characteristics be reported as distinctive findings.
