Abstract
In 1973, Dr. Martin C. Mihm, Jr. presented the finding that congenital melanocytic nevi, when viewed at low magnification, resemble superficial and deep perivascular dermatitis, forming the so-called "pseudoinflammatory" pattern. One year earlier, Dr. Richard A. Sagebiel had put forward the concept of "pseudovascular spaces" in melanocytic nevi. A retrospective look at these early studies confirms that alert observation at the microscope can lead to a deeper understanding of the fundamental biology underlying melanocytic tumors.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Cutaneous Pathology publishes manuscripts broadly relevant to diseases of the skin and mucosae, with the aims of advancing scientific knowledge regarding dermatopathology and enhancing the communication between clinical practitioners and research scientists. Original scientific manuscripts on diagnostic and experimental cutaneous pathology are especially desirable. Timely, pertinent review articles also will be given high priority. Manuscripts based on light, fluorescence, and electron microscopy, histochemistry, immunology, molecular biology, and genetics, as well as allied sciences, are all welcome, provided their principal focus is on cutaneous pathology. Publication time will be kept as short as possible, ensuring that articles will be quickly available to all interested in this speciality.
