The emerging subtypes of melanoma: a synthesis. The emerging subtypes of melanoma: Melanomas can be subdivided into epithelia-associated (left panel) and non-epithelia associated types (right panel). The left panel shows from the upper left clockwise non-CSD, CSD, acral, and mucosal melanoma, and the right panel shows nevus of Ota, uveal melanoma, melanoma arising within a blue nevus, and melanocytoma. The sun icons indicate the relative cumulative UV exposure typical for the respective scenarios. The cartoons underneath illustrate the intraepidermal growth pattern, and the font size for the genes reflects their relative frequency for each type.
