The pathology was sent to UCSF Dermtopathology Service and was read by Dr. McCalmont there. Here is a quote:
"I fabor an extreme example of Spitz Nevus as most likely; and my differential diagnois also includes a so-called HRAS-mutated spitz nevus. Because of the hypercellularity of this proliferation and its elevated labeling indes near the junction in your ki-67 immunostain, consideration should be given to the possibility of completing comparative genomic hybridization to screen for chromosonal copy number abnormalities, as can be seen in association with atypical spitzoid tumors or spitzoid melanoma…"
I believe they are doing that test now.
He also says "ther eis a maturation of cytologic and architectural features upond decent of the melanodytes into the dermis. The melonocytes contain relatively abudnant eosinophillic cytoplsm that has ground glass appearance. Cannot rule out spitzoid melanoma with certainty."
So I'm confused. …
