Distribution of mean peritumoral CD105+ microvessel density in the categories of common melanocytic nevi (CMN), atypical, so-called ‘dysplastic’ nevi (AN); radial growth phase melanomas (RGPM), vertical growth phase melanomas (VGPM) and melanoma metastases (MET). Mean peritumoral microvessel density was significantly higher in primary (both radial and vertical growth phase) and metastatic melanomas in comparison with melanocytic nevi (P=0.001, Kruskal–Wallis H-test).
