gamma-H2AX is a marker of activated DNA damage and is overexpressed in many malignancies their precursor lesions. Previous studies have demonstrated the expression of gamma-H2AX in melanoma and dysplastic nevus, but its diagnostic and prognostic utility in a full range of melanocytic lesions has not been fully studied. In the Current study, we investigated gamma-H2AX expression in a total of 162 melanocytic lesions. We found that gamma-H2AX was observed at higher levels (percentage and intensity of staining) in melanoma in situ (12/13), primary cutaneous melanoma (32/33; with the exception of desitroplastic melanoma), and metastatic melanoma (58/62), which was statistically different from that in benign ncvus (7/9), dysplastic nevus (6/10), and Spitz nevus (5/9) considered together (P
