Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
Skin tumors are an intriguing topic in daily pathological practice. Despite their high incidence, their morphological and biological profiles are not yet been well elucidated because of their heterogeneity and multiplicity in clinical and histological findings. Moreover, cutaneous metastasis from solid tumors is an unusual event, often leading to diagnostic troubles and mistakes in differential diagnosis with primitive skin tumors.
In this Special Issue of Life, we would like to propose an opportunity for pathologists and clinicians to treat the unresolved and most recent topics in primitive and metastatic skin tumors with special focus on histological, immunohistochemical, and biological profiles. Reviews and studies about immunohistochemical and biological characteristics of both primitive and metastatic skin tumors affecting the clinical and therapeutic approach as well as the application of new promising diagnostic tools, are, moreover, encouraged.
Dr. Luca Reggiani Bonetti
