2F72.1 Spitzoid tumour of uncertain malignant potential

International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2024-01


A spindle cell and epithelioid cell melanocytic neoplasm in which there are sufficient features distinguishing it from a benign Spitz naevus to cast doubt on its benign nature. These atypical features include development in adult life, asymmetry, large diameter (>6 and especially >10 mm), significant thickness (particularly subcutaneous extension), lack of “maturation” and nodule formation, cytological atypia and a high mitotic rate.
