-*''[[Malignant melanoma]]'', also ''melanoma'', is a separate category as it can look like almost anything under the microscope.
+*The above is a useful clinical classification. The problem is it isn't that useful for problem solving in front of the microscope as:
-*''Hematologic'' includes [[lymphoma]], [[leukemia]], [[plasma cell neoplasms]] and others.
