“…As for the microscopic picture, irrespective of primary, recurrent, metastatic, melanotic or amelanotic melanomas; a striking cytomorphologic feature documented by most authors is its high cell-yield with a predominant population of dissociated cells (Woyke et al, 1980;Perry et al, 1986;Nasiell et al, 1991Deshpande et al, 2001Saqi et al, 2002;De Las Casas et al, 2004;Parwani et al, 2004;Damala et al, 2004;Siddaraju et al, 2007). Marked cellularity and nuclear pleomorphism; with plasmacytoid (cells with eccentrically placed nuclei), polygonal or spindle cells; inclusion-like prominent nucleoli; intra-nuclear cytoplasmic inclusions; increased mitotic activity; and variable number of bi-and multinucleated cells are the other features frequently observed in melanoma (Woyke et al, 1980;Perry et al, 1986;Kapila et al, 1991;Layfield et al, 1993;Dey et al, 1996;Deshpande et al, 2001;Saqi et al, 2002;Kashyap et al, 2002;Gupta et al, 2003;Artal et al, 2004;Gombos et al, 2004;Siddaraju et al, 2007).…”
