The term "melanoma in situ" refers to a non-invasive, planar-horizontal growth form of melanoma that has been present for years to decades. Clinically, this term is usually equated with lentigo maligna, see there.

Of course also a SSM, an ALM, a NMM and others show an in situ status. Only this growth stage is recognized in the rarest cases.
