A

T

68
Q

Desmoplastic melanomas have a tendency to metastatized

A

F rare melanoma form that typically has an aggressive local growth pattern but less propensity to metastasize

69

Definitive diagnosis of melanoma is with incisional biopsy

A

T

70
Q

The Clark classification is based on vertical depth of the
invasion in millimeters

A

F The Clark classification is based on the anatomic level of local invasion.
Breslow classification is based on the vertical depth of the invasion in millimeters

71
Q

Breslow classification because it was a better prognosticator of disease severity and
risk recurrence

A

T

72
Q

down from the granular layer of the epidermis

A

fat down to but not including the fascia

75
Q

tumor depth only play
a role in staging.

A

F tumor depth, ulceration, and mitotic rate also play a role in staging.

76

  • Depth of 0.76 to 1.0 mm with other high-risk factors including ulceration, lymphovascular invasion, significant vertical
    growth phase, and increased mitotic rate
  • patients with tumor >4.0 mm depth and clinically negative nodes also benefit from SLN biopsy

T

84
Q

A

T

87
Q

Reteniod leads to epidermal thickening and increased collagen
in the dermis because of decreased breakdown and increased collagen synthesis in the dermis
