[Giant melanosomes in moles and in normal human epidermis (author's transl)]
Abstract
This is the first report on the occurrence of giant melanosomes in normal human epidermis and in moles. Due to their characteristic ultrastructural features these large pigment organelles are of special interest for the research in melanin pigmentation. The diferentiation of giant malanosomes from other types of large melanin granules is discussed.
