Abstract
BAP1-inactivated melanocytic tumors typically present with distinctive histopathological changes and loss of nuclear BAP1 protein expression. Rare cases exhibit the typical morphology but with preserved expression of BAP1. In the current issue of Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, Linos et al. describe such a case and provide a comprehensive molecular-genetic exploration to explain such a phenomenon.
