Examination of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained sections using conventional microscopy remains the gold standard for diagnosis of melanocytic lesions and as such most of the criteria used in the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC)/College of American Pathologists (CAP) recommendations for reporting specimens with melanoma are based on routine examination of histologic slides.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0810"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> However, when lesions exhibit architectural and cytologic features that overlap both melanocytic nevi and melanomas, histologic examination alone may be insufficient for diagnosis. Being one of the ultimate histologic mimickers, melanoma may present in a range of histologic variants with spindle cell, desmoplastic, clear cell, balloon cell, signet ring cell, small cell, plasmacytoid and rhabdoid phenotypes.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0815"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2–4</span></a> Rarely, even establishing melanocytic lineage of a tumor may become a challenging task, especially when the tumor cells are poorly differentiated and resemble multiple other tumors such as carcinoma, lymphoma, neuroendocrine carcinoma, angiosarcoma, fibrohistiocytic, and small round blue cell tumors.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0830"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> The objective of this article is to review the various ancillary tests that are available to pathologists that assist in the diagnosis of melanocytic lesions as well as their possible application to determine prognosis and therapy.</p></span><span id="sec0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0035">Immunohistochemistry</span><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is arguably the most commonly employed ancillary test in pathology.

However, in heavily pigmented lesions, distinguishing the immunoreaction from melanin pigment can be challenging; therefore, other chromogens may be used including fast red or 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole (AEC) or Texas red. An alternate approach would be to use a counterstain other than hematoxylin such as azure B or Giemsa to convert the brown pigment of melanin to green.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0850"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> Such method allows distinction between the brown DAB and the now green-colored melanin. Bleaching of melanin using potassium permanganate solution may affect the antigenicity of some epitopes and thus, affect immunodetection of certain markers.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0850"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> However, bleaching using hydrogen peroxide may be a better alternative.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0855"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> But we recommend avoiding such techniques.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0860"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a></p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Though many of the common melanocyte specific markers are useful in the diagnosis of melanocytic lesions and primary melanomas,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0860"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11,12</span></a> their expression may be lost focally or diffusely as the disease progresses, particularly in metastatic lesions.

A lesion was considered to be melanoma if at least one of the following chromosomal abnormalities was present: (i) 3 or more green dots per nucleus (11q13, CCND1) in at least 39% of tumor cells, (ii) 3 or more red dots (6p25, RREB1) in at least 30% of tumor nuclei, (iii) number of RREB1 signals (red dots) greater than the number of centromere 6 signals (aqua dots) in more than 55% of tumor nuclei and (iv) at least 41% of tumor cells with fewer number of MYB signals (gold dots), compared to centromere 6 signals (aqua dots). Using these criteria, nevi could be distinguished from melanomas with high sensitivity (90%) and specificity (95%). Of these, gain of 6p25 was found to have the highest sensitivity for this distinction.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib1505"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">140,141</span></a></p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0040"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0130" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The applicability of FISH with the 4-probe method has been examined in various settings including pigmented melanocytic lesions with blue nevus like morphology<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib1515"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">142,143</span></a>; lesions with desmoplastic response<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib1525"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">144</span></a>; lesions with nevoid melanocytes<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib1530"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">145,146</span></a>; conjunctival melanocytic lesions<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib1540"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">147</span></a> and even intranodal melanocytic deposits<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib1545"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">148</span></a>, as well as in distinguishing melanoma cells from associated nevocytes<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib1535"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">146</span></a>.

Two serial sections of formalin fixed paraffin tissues were cut on to a glass side for H&E staining and on to a conductive glass slide for IMS. After marking areas of interest on the H&E slide, including dense areas of tumor devoid of other cells such as stroma or lymphocytes, the corresponding areas on the conductive slide were analyzed by IMS. Of the multiple models studied by the researchers, 5 peaks corresponding to tumor and 12 peaks corresponding to tumor microenvironment were found to provide the most discrimination between Spitz nevi (SN) and spitzoid melanoma (SMM). Tumor-associated peptides could distinguish the spitzoid lesion with a sensitivity of 97% and specificity of 90%, whereas the sensitivity and specificities of tumor microenvironment-associated peptides were 64% and 90%, respectively. Of the five differentially expressed tumor-associated peptides, the authors were able to identify actin and vimentin.
