N2 - The diagnosis of Spitzoid melanocytic lesions remains a formidable challenge in dermatopathology. Numerous ancillary tests have evolved to improve accurate classification of histopathologically ambiguous lesions. A study by Lang et al. (2020b) demonstrates loss of primary cilia in Spitzoid melanoma compared with Spitz nevi and positions ciliation index as an informative ancillary test for Spitzoid lesions.
