On the histological diagnosis and prognosis of malignant melanoma.

abstract：AIMS/BACKGROUND:A major medical role for postmortem examinations is the detection of clinically unexpected disease processes contributing to death. The aim of the present study was to determine whether simple clinical parameters can predict the presence of important unanticipated findings at necropsy. METHODS:Prospect...
