Abstract

Immunohistochemistry can be applied judiciously in the delineation of tumoral histiogenesis and the extent of lesional involvement in frozen section pathology. Among the more important immunostains and applications are the use of the MART-1 stain in melanoma, cytokeratin immuno stain in cutaneous epithelial malignancy and Ber-EP4 in basal cell carcinoma.
