Histological Diagnostics of Malignant Melanoma: State of the Art and Perspectives

Dear Colleague,

Malignant melanoma continues to represent a diagnostic challenge for dermatology specialist histopathologists. The extreme variability in clinical pictures, together with its morphological and immunohistochemical heterogeneity, still make it the "great mimic" of human pathology today. In memory of Dr. Antonietta Cimmino, a fine dermatopathologist and student of Prof. G. De Benedictis, from the University of Bari "Aldo Moro", we are launching this Special Issue aimed at collecting original contributions regarding cases, case series, reviews, or original articles that address and shed light on one of the most controversial diagnostic fields of all time.
