A CLIP on the Ear: Spitz Melanocytoma Harbouring a CLIP2-BRAF Gene Fusion.

Spitzoid lesions represent one of the most challenging areas in melanocytic pathology. Many such lesions are characterised by key gene alterations including ALK, ROS and NTRK fusions. BRAF mutations are generally considered incompatible with the diagnosis of Spitz tumours. Here, we present the case of a spitzoid melanocytoma harbouring a rare BRAF gene fusion. A brief overview of the literature is also touched upon.
