Figures
FNAC (Case 1) showing dyscohesive cells with large nuclei, macronucleoli and a tumor giant cell. There is sparse coarse pigment in the cytoplasm (MGG ×40).
Trucut biopsy (Case 1) revealed melanin pigment in pleomorphic tumor cells (Haematoxylin & Eosin X 40). Inset: tumor cells positive for S-100 protein (IHC with DAB x20).
Variable size, shape and density of late stage melanosomes in the cytoplasm of melanoma cells (Case 4) (Uranyl acetate-lead citrate × 27,000).
