Abstract:
A silver staining technique has recently been devised to aid in the differentiation between benign and malignant melanocytic lesions. This study showed a statistically significant difference between the staining of silver-nucleolar organizer regions (AgNORs) in melanocytic nevi and that of AgNORs in malignant melanomas.
