18) For histology specific lifetime risk analyses, we restricted the analyses to the five most common histological subtypes based on World Health Organization (WHO)'s International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, 3rd Edition (ICD-O-3): nodular melanoma (NM) - 8721; lentigo maligna melanoma (LMM) - 8742; superficial spreading melanoma (SMM) - 8743; acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) - 8744; and desmoplastic melanoma (DM) - 8745.

Recent molecular advances in determining prognosis in acral lentiginous melanoma include increased expression of c-myc oncogene activity, (27) increased p53 protein expression, (28) strong c-kit positivity in the basal epidermal cell layer29 and characteristic chromosomal amplification.

While 1 study noted a possibly increased rate of S100-negative lesions among acral lentiginous melanomas (34) and our study reports 2 S100-negative lesions arising in acral lentiginous or amelanotic melanomas, most of our S100-negative lesions arose in superficial spreading or nodular melanomas.
