Dermoscopic patterns of cutaneous melanoma metastases.
In 2-8% of patients with melanoma, the first clinical manifestation of the disease may be skin metastasis. In these cases, differential diagnosis with the primary melanoma, benign melanocytic lesions, and other malignant and benign skin growths is particularly challenging. For this reason, the dermatologist's approach to cutaneous metastases of malignant melanoma calls for knowledge of the grea...
متن کاملPopliteal lymph node dissection for metastases of cutaneous malignant melanoma
Popliteal lymph node dissection is performed when grossly metastatic nodal disease is encountered in the popliteal fossa or after microscopic metastasis is found in interval sentinel nodes during clinical staging of cutaneous malignant melanoma. Initially, an S-shaped incision is made to gain access to the popliteal fossa. A careful en bloc removal of fat tissue and lymph nodes is made to prese...
متن کاملIncidental endoscopic diagnosis of gastric metastases from cutaneous melanoma.
The stomach is the most common site of metastasis to the gastrointestinal tract from cutaneous melanoma, but the clinical diagnosis is made in less than 5% of those patients. We present herein the case of a 67-year-old man that had undergone wide local excision of an invasive ulcerated melanoma on the back (Clark III, Breslow 1.8 mm, stage IIIB) 2 years prior, with positive sentinel lymph node ...
متن کاملDouble Pulse Infrared Thermography
0. Abstract In this paper we propose a simple enhancing protocol for pulsed infrared thermography. The method is based on stimulating the specimen with two heating pulses separated by a short time interval delta. This approach was tested on several specimens of low and high thermal diffusivity and showed to provide higher thermal contrasts when an optimum interval delta is chosen. The observed ...
متن کاملcardiac metastases of malignant melanoma
malignant melanoma has the heart metastasis rate of 50 - 71%, which seems to be the highest among other malignancies. when a patient presents with cardiac metastases of melanoma, the disease has already spread through the body and therefore hardly curable. this brief review tried to introduce this important condition and discuss its frequency, presentation, diagnosis, histologic findings and tr...
