SOX10/keratin dual ‐color immunohistochemistry: An effective first‐line test for the workup of epithelioid malignant neoplasms in FNA and small biopsy specimens

CONCLUSIONSSOX10/keratin dual‐color IHC appears to be an effective, sensitive, and specific test to distinguish between melanoma, sarcoma, and carcinoma. This approach can identify melanoma, prioritize additional studies, and limit the number of markers needed to workup an epithelioid malignant neoplasm, thereby potentially reducing costs and preserving valuable tissue for ancillary studies with which to guide therapy.
