[Differential diagnosis of pigmented tumors]
Abstract
Some frequent diagnostic problems and the most important clinical and histologic criteria in differential diagnosis of malignant melanomas, benign pigment cell nevi, melanotic epithelial neoplastic lesions and frequent haemosiderotic tumors are delineated in a condensed survey. Considering the variety of diagnostic errors, one should never treat respectively destroy pigmented tumors of the skin without histologic investigation.
