Abstract
Melanomas characterized by a bulky invasive component and limited or absent adjacent intraepidermal component that have been previously termed nodular melanoma may account for about 10–15% of melanomas in white individuals (9–11,18,21,22,32) (Table 12). In all likelihood, this group of melanomas includes an assortment of melanomas either originating from the rapid clonal progression of a limited or short-lived intraepidermal component no longer recognizable or originating from the de novo development of an invasive component of intraepidermal, adnexal, or dermal origin.
