Numerous dots and globules of regular shape and distribution in a Clark nevus
|
|
|
The striking aspect of this globular Clark nevus is the dark-brown gray color of otherwise regular dots/globules in the lower left part of the lesion
|
|
|
At the periphery of this melanoma, several irregularly shaped dots/globules can be noted
|
|
|
Numerous dots/globules of various sizes and shapes are present in the upper part of this melanoma
|
|
|
Clumps of melanin and melanocytes in the stratum corneum (circle) represent the underlying histopathologic structures of black dots as evidenced in this melanoma
|
|
|
Lower magnification of this dermal nevus reveals several, dark-brown nests of melanocytes (nevus cells) in the papillary dermis (circle) reflecting the globular pattern of this lesion
|
|
|
Higher magnification reveals a heavily pigmented nest of melanocytes (nevus cells) corresponding to the underlying histopathologic structure of a given brown globule
|
|
|
This melanoma is composed of numerous, variously sized globules, some of which have a peculiar reddish color. These particular structures are called red globules (circle) by some authors
|
|
|
This otherwise typical melanoma focally reveals a cluster of red globules (circle)
