Abstract:Introduction:Mutations on BRAF gene located on chromosome 7q are the most frequently found in cutaneous melanomas (60%-80%). The only study correlating histopathological patterns of cutaneous melanomas with the presence of BRAF mutations was undertaken by Viros et al. in 2008. The authors observed that morphological features of melanomas are associated with BRAF mutations. Objectives: To correlate histopathological patterns in cutaneous melanoma with the presence of BRAF mutations in order to corroborate the r… Show more
