Spindle cell melanocytic tumors
pseudoinclusions are sometimes evident and mild nuclear pleomorphism is typical. Mitoses are either absent or extremely infrequent. By definition dendritic cells are said not to be seen in this lesion. The growth pattern often presents a plexiform appearance, fascicles of nevus cells following the dermal appendages and neurovascular bundles. Perineural or endoneural extension is a very common f...
متن کاملTherapy of melanocytic conjunctival tumors.
BACKGROUND Clinical experience of our single center in dealing with pigmented epibulbar lesions - melanocytic conjunctival tumors is presented. Since 2008 we use the topical treatment with mitomycin C (MMC) as an alternative or adjunctive method for excision in the treatment of melanocytic neoplasia of the conjunctiva. METHODS The retrospective case series of 85 patients with pigmented lesion...
متن کاملComputer aided diagnosis of melanocytic tumors
The aim of this study was to check the applicability of tissue counter analysis (TCA) to the discrimination of benign common nevi and malignant melanoma lesions. TCA is based on the partition of the image into square elements of equal size where the features, are calculated out of each square element. The features, based on grey level histogram and co-occurrence matrix, allow the differentiatio...
متن کامل[Expression of galanin in melanocytic tumors].
INTRODUCTION Galanin is a neuropeptide with wide-ranging effects, especially within the endocrine and nervous systems. Galanin and its receptors are present in human skin. Galanin is expressed in different neural, endocrine and neuroendocrine tumors and, on the other hand, several neuropeptides, particularly alpha-MSH, seem to play a role in the pathogenesis of melanoma. OBJECTIVE To investig...
متن کاملContributions of Cytogenetics and Molecular Cytogenetics to the Diagnosis of Adipocytic Tumors
Over the last 20 years, a number of tumor-specific chromosomal translocations and associated fusion genes have been identified for mesenchymal neoplasms including adipocytic tumors. The addition of molecular cytogenetic techniques, especially fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), has further enhanced the sensitivity and accuracy of detecting nonrandom chromosomal translocations and/or othe...
