Selected topics will include the general approach to the difficult melanocytic lesion, dysplastic and other atypical cutaneous melanocytic nevi, spitzoid melanocytic neoplasms, blue nevi and atypical variants, nevoid melanoma, desmoplastic melanoma, blue nevus-like melanoma, conventional cutaneous melanoma, primary acquired melanosis, pediatric melanoma, acral melanoma, mucosal melanoma, melanocytic lesions of the nail apparatus, conjunctival melanoma, uveal melanoma, the reporting of melanoma and prognostic factors, what the clinician expects from the pathologist, the assessment of margins and sentinel lymph node, AJCC guidelines 8th Edition for melanoma staging, practical immunohistochemistry and practical molecular analysis of melanocytic lesions, and immune checkpoint pathways.
