Melanoma in situ D03- >. A melanoma of the skin characterized by the presence of melanoma cells in the dermal-epidermal junction only, without infiltration of the papillary or reticular dermis. Abnormal melanocytes (cells that make melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color) are found in the epidermis (outer layer of the skin).

Early/evolving melanoma in situ (8720/2) and early/evolving melanoma invasive (8720/3) are reportable for cases diagnosed 1/1/2021 and later.
a.i. Early or evolving melanoma, in situ and invasive: As of 1/1/2021, early or evolving melanoma in situ, or any other early or evolving melanoma, is reportable.
The rest of the solid tumors arise in the brain, central nervous system, or in the eye. Melanoma—skin malignancy. It can also form in the eyes, and, rarely, in internal organs. Germ cell tumors—usually arise in the ovaries and testes, but can also occur in the brain, abdomen, or chest.
English. Superficial spreading melanoma is a type of skin cancer. It begins when the melanocytes in the skin grow out of control and form tumors. Melanocytes are the cells responsible for making melanin, the pigment that determines the color of the skin.

(9) Over 40 years of incidence and mortality data indicate a broad overdiagnosis of melanoma, a trend that our specialty can no longer overlook. An overdiagnosis of melanoma in-situ in a 28-year-old has lifelong grave consequences, harms that are highly significant for the patient.

Epidermal layer only. Malignant melanoma is malignant neoplasm of melanin (brown pigment producing) cells, described as having invaded the dermis or as one of the following stages: Stage I – Localized. Stage IA – Less than 1.0 mm thick, no ulceration, no lymph node involvement, no distant metastases.
Patients with melanoma in situ are classified as TIS (tumor in situ). The tumor is limited to the top layer of the skin (epidermis) with no evidence of invasion of dermis, surrounding tissues, lymph nodes or distant sites. Melanoma in situ presents very low risk for recurrence or metastasis.
