1 MELTUMP, SAMPUS, AST.An Algorithmic Approach to Challenging (Often ) Melanocytic Tumors An Introduction to SNP Arrays Rajiv M. Patel, M.D. RCPA NZ ASM 2017 (11:45-12:30pm, Saturday, ) Why do we need more stuff? A small proportion have ambiguous histology Common nevus Melanoma Common nevus? MELTUMP Molecular studies Any other ways to distinguish nevi from melanoma? 1
