MELANOMAS WITH SPINDLE-CELL MORPHOLOGY: FEATURES OF MORPHOLOGY AND BIOLOGICAL BEHAVIOUR
Abstract
58 melanomas with spindle-cell morphology are investigated. Accoding to results of the complex analysis it is established that their range is non-uniform and includes some options with various biological behavior. It is shown that nodular and superficial extending spindle-cell melanomas have authentically best forecast (р < 0,05) in comparison with other melanomas of spindle-cell range. Lymphogenous tumor spread is typical for combined and superficial extending options and desmoplastic copies are inclined to development of local recurrence.
