Improving classification of melanocytic nevi: BRAF V600E expression associated with distinct histomorphologic features

BRAF V600E mutation is a common genetic driver of melanocytic nevi and melanoma. BRAF V600E is associated with distinct histomorphologic features in melanocytic nevi, including dermal and congenital growth patterns. Understanding the genetic-morphologic correlates in melanocytic nevi may facilitate a more accurate classification and improved diagnosis of melanocytic neoplasms.
