  • Title: Diffuse melanosis in metastatic malignant melanoma.
    Author: Steiner A, Rappersberger K, Groh V, Pehamberger H.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 1991 Apr; 24(4):625-8. PubMed ID: 2033142.
    Abstract:
    The skin of a patient with diffuse melanosis as a result of malignant melanoma was examined by light microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and electron microscopy. Our findings indicate that the slate-blue discoloration in this patient was due to pigment deposition in dermal macrophages and endothelial cells. Multiple attempts to identify disseminated metastatic melanoma cells were unsuccessful.
