AB One  of  the  hallmarks  of  the  natural  world  is  variation.  For  instance,  the  spectrum  of  visible  light  is  infinitely  varied,  and  though  the  difference  between  the  blinding  sunlight  of  midday  and  the  impenetrable  blackness  of  an  underground  cave  is  stark,  between  these  extremes  lie  gradations  that  the  eye  cannot  always  distinguish.  Similarly,  a  key  issue  faced  when  assessing  the  margins  of  lentigo  maligna  (LM)  is  to  determine  whether  melanocytes  represent  the  periphery  of  melanoma  or  background  melanocytes  on  sun-damaged  skin.
