The role of TERT promoter mutations in differentiating recurrent nevi from recurrent melanomas: A retrospective, case-control study

摘要

Background: Repigmentation at previous biopsy sites pose a significant diagnostic dilemma given clinical and histologic similarities between recurrent nevi and locally recurrent melanoma. Though common in melanoma, the role of TERT promoter mutations (TPMs) in recurrent nevi is unknown.
