Popis: Melanoma with cartilaginous differentiation is a rare histologic subtype that has been reported in the literature. It often presents clinically different than conventional melanomas and can be diagnostically challenging. Molecular alterations in previously reported cases have not been published. We present a case of melanoma with chondroid stroma from a 70-year-old man that was found to contain an NRAS mutation (c.182A>G (p.Q61R)) via Illumina TruSight Tumor 15 (TST15) next generation sequencing assay.
