Microphthalmia Transcription Factor: A Sensitive and Specific Melanocyte Marker for Melanoma Diagnosis
Roy King,Katherine N. Weilbaecher,Gaël McGill,Edward Cooley,Martin C. Mihm,Martin C. Mihm,David E. Fisher +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a series of 76 consecutive human melanoma surgical specimens, 100% stained positively for Microphthalmia transcription factor (Mitf) with a nuclear pattern of reactivity.
Microphthalmia transcription factor expression in cutaneous benign, malignant melanocytic, and nonmelanocytic tumors.
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that Mitf antibody expression is conserved in the majority of benign and malignant melanocytic lesions, and that it may be helpful in the diagnosis of primary melanocytical skin lesions.

TL;DR: Computer-vision systems can facilitate early detection of small melanomas and may limit the number of biopsies to rule out melanoma performed on benign lesions.

Lentiginous melanoma: a histologic pattern of melanoma to be distinguished from lentiginous nevus
TL;DR: Pigmented lesions from 16 patients were presented and the clinical diagnosis was variable and included lentigo maligna, atypical nevus, pigmented basal cell carcinoma, seborrheic keratosis and lentigo.

Microphthalmia transcription factor and NKI/ C3 expression in cellular neurothekeoma
TL;DR: The concept that cellular neurothekeoma is a tumor of neuroectodermal origin is further supported, and it is suggested that it may express some component of melanocytic differentiation.
