#dermpath. Melanoma mostly derives de novo. But I do occasionally see those arising from nevus. When the pictures are clean cut, you don’t need stains ( like the fancy PRAME I did here) to prove. @melanopath @HoustonArsenal @glinglerimek @DrGeeONE @MarcelaSaebL @kis_lorand @redsnapperpath @et565

Haha. Thanks Gulcin. who is that guy?😜

@Benjaminrhcp @Dermatopoullos Je veux bien voir les lames 😆

@Dermatopoullos Ce Dermato arrête pas de poster des trucs comme ça sur insta. Il fait peur aux gens et je me demande si ce sont pas juste ses pathologistes qui sur diagnostiquent ses lésions

Heu…..

I am deeply saddened by the passing of a great individual @ProfRAScolyer. Richard truly demonstrated the power of a single person who was passionate to influence so many. A lot has been written about his research achievements and his advocacy in melanoma and brain cancer (which are truly phenomenal and globally recognized). Beyond these achievements which are so well known and appreciated by the wider community, I want to emphasize that he was also a great advocate for high quality anatomical/surgical pathology. In his farewell letter he emphasized his pride in helping to start the world's largest melanoma tumour bank and his publications not just in melanoma but in melanoma pathology. He truly understood the role pathology plays in a patient's cancer journal and advocated at all levels for the specialty. He spent so much of his time teaching and promoting the discipline of surgical pathology; and he truly mentored so many. As he wrote: "A terminal cancer diagnosis does however provide clarity as to what truly matters. It shines a spotlight on the importance of relationships, on true friendship and on selflessness. Whilst cancer may not define us, our ability to empathise with and have compassion towards others does. That is true in all facets of life, and I am confident those traits will continue to guide Australians towards acceptance and support for all." Also . . . he was also tremendous fun and entertaining in the social setting. This is from a party 25 years ago.

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the death of Professor Richard Scolyer AO (1966-2026) on behalf of the Australasian Division of the International Academy of Pathology. Our deepest sympathy and love to Katie, Emily, Matthew and Lucy, and to all who knew and loved him.

In Memoriam: Professor Richard Scolyer, AO (1966–2026) - mailchi.mp/dermpedia.org/…

It is with a heavy heart that we share the deeply sad news that our cherished colleague Prof Richard Scolyer AO passed away yesterday 7th June 2026. Richard was a renowned pathologist and a world authority on skin cancer and melanoma diagnoses. His broad knowledge of and passion for pathology, along with his generous mentorship and teaching, have inspired many and transformed melanoma and skin cancer research and diagnosis across the globe. Richard was an integral and esteemed part of Melanoma Institute Australia (MIA) and the melanoma community for over two decades. His commitment to and advocacy for his profession, coupled with his enthusiasm for life and his genuine humanity, resonated broadly, and has left a lasting positive impact. “I am deeply saddened to lose such a cherished colleague. Richard was a truly extraordinary pathologist - the 'pathologists' pathologist' - who also made generous time for clinicians navigating complex diagnostic cases, understanding that an accurate tissue diagnosis was critical to patient care. His knowledge was vast, his skill exceptional, with an unparalleled eye for accurate tissue diagnoses, and the precision to apply decades of experience where it mattered most.” “He shared his expertise widely: through consultation on external specimens, through diagnostic and classification frameworks now used worldwide, and as a devoted teacher and mentor. Richard has left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of working alongside him.”  - Professor Georgina Long MIA is proud to have instituted the Richard Scolyer Pathology Fellowship, honouring Richard's legacy, and his commitment to shaping the next generation of melanoma pathologists. Our thoughts are with Richard's family during this difficult time, especially his wife Katie and children Emily, Matthew, and Lucy. As we mourn the passing of Richard, we also reflect on a remarkable life that touched so many. Please consider sharing a tribute message for Richard on our MIA website> bit.ly/4uncLpx Richard's legacy will live on, continuing to inspire us all, as we continue working toward our vision of zero deaths from melanoma.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Prof Richard Scolyer, AO. A giant in melanoma research, an inspiring educator, and human being. We were honored to host him twice on #pathCast, and his wisdom will continue to educate and inspire pathologists around the world. Vale Richard.🤗
