Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The diagnosis of skin tumors is a fundamental step in the patient's diagnostic, therapeutic and healthcare process. Even today the gold standard is considered to be the morphological examination in Hematoxylin-Eosin, accompanied by appropriate immunohistochemical staining but, increasingly, the molecular characterization of tumors is gaining ground for diagnostic confirmation purposes, as well as, in some cases, to prognostic and risk stratification purposes. Furthermore, in some cases of primary cutaneous lymphoproliferative pathologies and pathologies of a histiocyte-macrophage nature, the molecular determination of the gene alteration can provide essential information in achieving a correct nosographic classification of a specific pathology. In this Special Issue we would like to invite colleagues to submit a contribution in the form of an Original Article, Case Report, Case Series, Review, Systematic Review, Comment or Letter to the Editor regarding the application of molecular techniques to the diagnosis of skin pathologies.
Dr. Teresa Lettini

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
