This study showed a correlation between BRAF and NRAS status and dermoscopic findings of 'peppering' as an expression of regression and melanophages in the dermis, suggesting a morphological consequence of immune behaviour in BRAF-mutated melanomas.
Ulceration and irregular peripheral streaks represent dermoscopic feature indicative for BRAF-mutated melanoma, while dotted vessels are suggestive for wild-type melanoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
