Non-melanocytic mimics of melanoma, part II: intradermal mimics.
Intradermal melanoma diagnosis poses a great deal of confusion on many occasions since it can mimic almost any tumour within the dermis. In part I, the different features of intraepidermal mimics were discussed. In this part, there is discussion of the clinical, cytomorphological and immunohistochemical features of intradermal mimics of melanoma and how to distinguish these conditions from mela...
متن کاملNon-melanocytic mimics of melanoma: part I: intraepidermal mimics.
Melanoma comprises a wide range of cytological and architectural features histopathologically and hence can mimic many benign and malignant lesions of epithelial, mesenchymal and hematopoietic cell lines of differentiation. Therefore, analysis and close clinical, histological, histochemical and immunohistochemical correlation is vital in distinguishing challenging melanoma cases from their mimi...
متن کاملCombined melanocytic nevi: histologic variants and melanoma mimics.
Combined melanocytic nevi are composed of 2 or more distinct populations of nevomelanocytes. Most commonly used to describe the combination of blue nevi with common nevi, it may also be applied to other combinations of benign melanocytic proliferations, including Spitz nevi and nevi with deep dermal pigmented nevomelanocytes. We report the incidence and distribution of these tumors at the Massa...
متن کاملIntradermal Melanoma Associated With an Intradermal Melanocytic Nevus.
Intradermal melanoma on a pre-existing intradermal nevus is an exceptional finding. Since 1961, a total of 11 cases have been published; none of these were in the Spanish medical literature (PubMed, December 27, 2014). We report the case of a 42-year-old man who underwent treatment at his health center for a lesion in the center of his forehead. In the clinical history, the lesion was described...
متن کاملHave coral snake mimics diversified more than non-mimics?
Dipsadidae is the most diversified family of snakes, composed of species showing an impressive variety of color patterns. Some species are cryptic whereas others have contrasting patterns comprised by bright colors alternated with darker shades, including particular combinations of vivid colors characteristic of coral snakes (Elapidae). Species with such patterns are thought to be mimics of cor...
