Abstract:
Results of morphological and ultrastructural study of balloon-cell nevi and malignant melanomas (10 cases) are presented. The transition between typical and balloon cells was characteristic regardless of the site, clinicomorphological variant and biology of the disease. Polymorphism is typical for balloon-cell structures in malignant melanomas. The disturbance of the melanin synthesis and its precursors, progressing cell vacuolization support degenerative character of the process.

Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
