Abstract
Giant melanosomes were identified in lentigines and nevi of 4 patients from 3 kindreds with the B‐K mole syndrome. They were present in some dysplastic lesions but not in malignant melanomas. In one case examined in the electron microscope, characteristic ultrastructural features were observed.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
