• 

  Fig. 1 (A) An erythematous crusted papule with violaceous sclerotic surrounding plaque on the nose. (B) High magnification showing characteristic bundles of malignant, (C) spindle-shaped cells in dermis admixed with collagen bundles. (D) Desmoplastic melanoma with neurotropic features showing malignant spindle-shaped cells tended to invade around nerves (H&E, original magnification: B, ×200; C, ×400; D, ×400).
