Abstract:
The incidence of melanoma has been increasing over the past few decades. Because of its phenotypic diversity, melanoma may present in various clinical and histopathological manifestations, and it can mimic varieties of skin lesions from benign to malignant and from epithelial to nonepithelial. Accurate diagnosis of melanoma is crucial because delayed treatment leads to worse prognoses. Here, we describe a case of melanoma in an 82-year-old man with an unusual histopathologic presentation, namely, the presence of neoplastic aggregates with a palisaded periphery resembling basal cell carcinoma.

01:11Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.

The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...
