Listen to pronunciation. (MEH-luh-NOH-muh in SY-too) Abnormal melanocytes (cells that make melanin, the pigment that gives skin its natural color) are found in the epidermis (outer layer of the skin). These abnormal melanocytes may become cancer and spread into nearby normal tissue.

Melanoma in situ is also called stage 0 melanoma. It means there are cancer cells in the top layer of skin (the epidermis). The melanoma cells are all contained in the area in which they started to develop and have not grown into deeper layers of the skin. Some doctors call in situ cancers pre cancer.
Stay on the Lookout – Melanomas in situ are usually flat and asymmetrical, with irregular borders. They can be black, brown, tan, gray or even pink. In contrast to what Jim had, invasive melanomas are tumors that have penetrated beyond the epidermis into the deeper layer of the skin called the dermis.

All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...

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.
