Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma: Updates on Morphology, Genetics, and Therapeutic Strategies.

abstract：:Desmoplastic melanoma (DM) is a relatively rare cytomorphologic variant of melanoma with a marked propensity for perineural invasion (PNI). Historically, DMs that display PNI have been grouped under the umbrella term of neurotropic melanoma (NM). However, definitions for NM and desmoplastic NM are not consistent in th...
