Tree Number(s): C04.557.465.625.650.510.385; C04.557.580.625.650.510.385; C04.557.665.510.385
Unique ID: D018327
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018327
Annotation: coord IM with SKIN NEOPLASMS (IM) + site (IM or NIM) if relevant
Scope Note: A cellular subtype of malignant melanoma. It is a pigmented lesion composed of melanocytes occurring on sun-exposed skin, usually the face and neck. The melanocytes are commonly multinucleated with a starburst appearance. It is considered by many to be the in situ phase of lentigo maligna melanoma.
