Note that staging imaging is not required for the determination of eligibility, but if obtained prior to enrollment, all imaging must be consistent with localized cutaneous disease\n* Patients must have a performance status corresponding to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scores of 0, 1 or 2. Use Karnofsky for patients \\> 16 years of age and Lansky for patients ≤ 16 years of age\n* Patients must not have received any prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation, or surgical therapy for melanoma other than the permitted biopsy\u002Fexcision of the lesion for which they are enrolling. Note that prior biopsies\u002Fsurgery for other benign melanocytic lesions is permitted\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients ≥ 18 years old with conventional adult-type melanoma are excluded. Note that patients 18-25 years old with atypical Spitz\u002FSpitzoid tumors, or other atypical melanocytic neoplasms are eligible\n* Patients with clinical evidence of metastatic disease such as palpable malignant adenopathy or symptomatic distant metastases are not eligible\n* Patients who have undergone re-excision to achieve a negative margin or sentinel lymph node biopsy for the melanocytic neoplasm under study are not eligible. Note that this does not exclude patients who have undergone the permitted diagnostic biopsy\u002Fexcision, including re-biopsy, of the lesion\n* Any of the following diagnoses\n\n  * Congenital nevi-associated proliferative nodules\n  * Agminated Spitz nevi\u002Ftumors\n  * Dysplastic nevus\n  * Combined nevus\n  * CRTC1::TRIM11 and\u002For MED15::ATF1 fused tumors (molecular testing is not required prior to enrollment)\n* Pre-existing conditions:\n\n  * Solid organ transplant recipients\n  * Known melanoma predisposition syndrome (i.e., patients with previously known pathogenic variants in moderate and high penetrance melanoma susceptibility genes \\[i.e., CDKN2A, CDK4, BAP1, POT1, TERT promoter, ACD, TERF2IP\\] or Xeroderma Pigmentosum).

Melanoma is a cancer that in children is sometimes difficult to tell apart from benign (not harmful) or atypical (uncertain if harmful) skin lesions. Failure to diagnose melanoma can result in inadequate surgical removal and increase the risk of recurrence and metastatic disease (spread from where it first started to other places in the body). In addition, diagnosing a tumor a benign (not cancer) tumor as cancer may lead to unnecessary surgery and treatment. This trial reviews tumor pathology and genetic markers and classifies the tumor as not atypical, atypical but low risk for spread and\u002For recurrence (coming back after a period of improvement), and atypical and high risk for spread and\u002For recurrence. The classifications are then used to provide surgical recommendations. Tumors that are not atypical do not receive any surgical treatment. Low-risk recommendations include removing a small layer of normal skin around the tumor. High-risk recommendations include the usual adult melanoma approach of removing a larger layer of normal skin around the tumor with or without a biopsy of the sentinel lymph node (the first lymph node to which tumor cells are likely to spread from a primary tumor). Risk-based guided surgical management may help avoid unnecessary surgery while improving outcomes in younger patients with localized cutaneous melanoma, atypical Spitz\u002FSpitzoid tumors or other atypical melanocytic tumors.",[26,27,28,29,30,31],"Clinical Stage 0 Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8","Clinical Stage I Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8","Clinical Stage II Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8","Cutaneous Melanocytic Neoplasm","Cutaneous Melanoma","Cutaneous Spitz Melanocytoma","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-06-03",{"date":35,"type":36},"2026-06-05","ACTUAL",{"date":38,"type":20},"2026-08-18",{"date":40,"type":20},"2028-07-31",{"name":42,"class":43},"Children's Oncology Group","NETWORK"]
