Clinical and histopathological features of four cases of multifocal amelanotic malignant melanoma of the conjunctiva in association with 'acquired melanosis sine pigmento' are reported. The absence ofconjunctival pigmentation in this extremely rare combination of lesions prevented early diagnosis and clinical monitoring. As a result orbital exenteration was required in three cases. This multice...
BACKGROUND The stomach is regarded as a rare site for metastasis. When a gastric mass is observed macroscopically, the presumed diagnosis is usually a primary gastric carcinoma. However, the stomach may be involved in metastatic malignant melanoma. Besides a possible macroscopical misdiagnosis, metastatic gastric melanoma may also be misdiagnosed microscopically as adenocarcinoma due to its pro...
OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence of melanoma clinically mimicking seborrheic keratosis. DESIGN Retrospective review of cases submitted for histological examination with a clinical diagnosis of seborrheic keratosis or with a differential diagnosis that included seborrheic keratosis. SETTING A tertiary medical care center-based dermatopathology laboratory serving academic dermatology clin...
Background: The most common types of non-melanoma skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). AKIEC -Actinic keratoses (Solar keratoses) and intraepithelial carcinoma (Bowen’s disease)- are common non-invasive precursors of SCC, which may progress to invasive SCC, if left untreated. Due to the importance of early detection in cancer treatment, this study aimed...
BACKGROUND We previously reported a significant association between higher UV radiation exposure before diagnosis and greater survival with melanoma in a population-based study in Connecticut. We sought to evaluate the hypothesis that sun exposure before diagnosis was associated with greater survival in a larger, international population-based study with more detailed exposure information. ME...
Seasonal variation in cutaneous melanoma incidence with a summer peak is poorly understood. It has been hypothesized to be due to increased diagnosis in summer or a late-promoting effect of sun exposure. We analyzed the characteristics of incident cases of cutaneous melanoma and their outcome by season of diagnosis in the population of New South Wales, Australia. Cases of melanoma (25,845 cases...
Malignant melanoma can present a variety of histopathological patterns. Cartilaginous change in the absence of osteogenic differentiation is extremely rare in malignant melanoma, being among the least frequent of the wide range of melanoma histologic patterns. We report a case of a 47-year-old woman with a subungual nodule on her right great toe for many years. Histopathological examination of ...
Secondary transformation in Germ Cell Tumours (GCT) is an extremely rare event. We report here a case of malignant melanoma arising in primary mediastinal GCT. A young male presented with new onset dyspnoea and a mediastinal mass. As serum alpha fetoprotein was raised, a diagnosis of primary mediastinal GCT was made. He achieved remission with standard chemotherapy and resection of the mass. Af...
Introduction: There is a strong need for developing clinical technologies and instruments for prompt tissue assessment in a variety of oncological applications as smart methods. Elastic scattering spectroscopy (ESS) is a real-time, noninvasive, point-measurement, optical diagnostic technique for malignancy detection through changes at cellular and subcellular levels, especially important in ear...
PURPOSE To investigate the occurrence of other primary malignancies before and after diagnosis of uveal melanoma in a Swedish population. METHODS In the Swedish Cancer Registry 2995 patients with uveal melanoma were notified during the period 1960 to 1998. In the same registry, a search for additional malignancies among these patients was performed. A matched case-control study with 2,916 pat...
