Cleft formation is thought to be a retraction artefact observed in histopathology due to formalin fixation dehydration. However, cleft-like retraction spaces between intraepidermal nests of melanocytes and adjacent epidermis are observed on histopathology more frequently in Spitz/Reed naevi and melanomas than in other melanocytic proliferations.

Abstract

Cleft formation is thought to be a retraction artefact observed in histopathology due to formalin fixation dehydration. However, cleft-like retraction spaces between intraepidermal nests of melanocytes and adjacent epidermis are observed on histopathology more frequently in Spitz/Reed naevi and melanomas than in other melanocytic proliferations.
