The ability of melanoma to simulate the appearance of various soft tissue sarcomas is also well documented. These include malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, epithelioid angiosarcoma, rhabdoid tumors, osteosarcomas, and primitive neuroectodermal tumors, to name a few. The detailed immunophenotypic properties of those lesions are provided elsewhere in this book. However, none of them manifests reactivity for gplOO-related melanocytic markers or tyrosinase, making those markers essential to the differential diagnostic process.
