Dermoscopy-targeted sampling and genotyping of a melanoma in situ arising in a dysplastic nevus revealed a phenotype-genotype paradox that confounds the exclusive significance of BRAF and NRAS mutations in melanoma pathogenesis.
Given the putative neoplastic potential of dysplastic nevi, our aim was to ascertain in dysplastic nevi from intermittently sun-exposed skin and of varying severity the frequency of oncogenic BRAF and NRAS and to assess expression of IGFBP7 in the same.
