Nodular Melanoma

Preferred Label : Nodular Melanoma;

NCIt definition : A melanoma that arises from the skin and mucosal sites. It is characterized by a vertical growth phase and lacks a significant radial growth phase. It may or may not arise from a pre-existing nevus. Morphologically, it is characterized by the presence of cohesive aggregates of neoplastic melanocytes in the dermis that often exhibit an epithelioid appearance. The overlying epidermis is often involved.;

Neoplastic status : Malignant;

NCI Metathesaurus CUI : CL1927173;
