Although cryostat sections in general allow a distinction to be made between malignant melanomas and other pigmented lesions in clinically doubtful cases, the differential diagnosis may be difficult. The histological and cytological criteria taken into account can be classified as major, minor, and insufficient. Knowing the diagnostic value of each makes a conventionally established diagnosis safer. Variance analysis does not contribute to the problem but it can nevertheless be shown that the evaluation of six major criteria makes a quick and reliable cryostat section diagnosis possible. If these results are confirmed in a prospective study it would be a decisive step on the way to a quicker and safer cryostat section diagnosis of malignant melanoma, even for the less experienced histopathologist.
