Malvehy et al describe a method for sampling fresh tissue from primary melanoma and test whether the area of maximal thickness can be identified with dermoscopy to ensure it remains available for routine histopathological diagnosis. Agreement between 2 observers on the identification of the thickest part of the melanoma was studied. See the Editorial by Soyer.
