Fine structure and x-ray microanalysis of melanosomes in pigmented nevi and melanomas
Abstract
Further finestructural characteristics of melanosomes in pigmented nevi and melanomas are described. The differences in the calcium, iron and surphur content of melanosomes derived from melanocytes, nevocytes and malignant melanoma cells are pointed out.
