Collision (contiguous) tumors of the skin can result in misleading clinicopathological presentations, and the choice of appropriate diagnostic techniques may prevent incomplete diagnosis and management. We report 2 cases of collision tumors involving amelanotic malignant melanoma of the back. One patient is a 79-yr-old male with an 8.7 x 5.5 x 4.5 cm polypoid lesion that on shave biopsy was dia...
IMPORTANCE Nodular melanoma (NM) is a rapidly progressing potentially lethal skin tumor for which early diagnosis is critical. OBJECTIVE To determine the dermoscopy features of NM. DESIGN Eighty-three cases of NM, 134 of invasive non-NM, 115 of nodular benign melanocytic tumors, and 135 of nodular nonmelanocytic tumors were scored for dermoscopy features using modified and previously descri...
Non-iridescent structural plumage color is typically produced by coherent scattering of light within a matrix of keratin and air (a ;spongy layer') in feather barbs. It remains unclear what role, if any, the basal melanin layer underlying this spongy layer plays in the production of coloration. Amelanism in birds with structural color is a ;natural experiment' in which melanin pigmentation is l...
The incidence of malignant melanoma is rising faster than that of any other cancer in the United States. An [I]-labeled benzamide [I]MIP-1145 selectively targets melanin, reduces melanoma tumor burden and increases survival in preclinical models. Our purpose was to determine the potential of radiosensitizers to enhance the anti-tumor efficacy of [I]MIP-1145. Melanotic (A2058) and amelanotic (A3...
MELANOMA CELLS EXPRESS A PHENOTYPE THAT IS EASY TO RECOGNIZE: the synthesis of melanin. We used this marker to isolate clones of amelanotic variants from large populations of wild-type melanotic clones. Cloudman mouse melanoma (S91, clone M-3, CCL 53.1) was chosen as the parental line because the cells are highly pigmented, grow well as clones in soft agar, and fuse readily with Sendai virus. S...
Rab proteins, a subfamily of the ras superfamily, are low molecular weight GTPases involved in the regulation of intracellular vesicular transport. Cloning of human RAB32 was recently described. Presently, we report the cloning and characterization of the mouse homologue of Rab32. We show that murine Rab32 exhibits a ubiquitous expression pattern, with tissue-specific variation in expression le...
Direct injection of murine K-1735 melanoma cells into the subcutis, lung, or brain of syngeneic mice produces amelanotic tumors, whereas intravenous injection into the lateral tail vein or internal carotid artery produces both amelanotic and melanotic foci in the lung and the brain respectively. We hypothesized that loss of adhesion in the circulation may contribute to the melanogenic phenotype...
BACKGROUND Near-infrared confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM) represents a novel imaging technique for in vivo microscopic analysis of skin lesions, including pigmented lesions. OBJECTIVES To investigate the feasibility of detecting a clinically amelanotic malignant cutaneous melanoma using CSLM and to explore the use of this technique for assessing its margins. PATIENTS AND METHODS Tw...
A mutant line of chickens (DAM line) has been developed that is characterized by a high incidence of a spontaneous, postnatal, cutaneous amelanosis. Amelanotic individuals also have a high incidence of blindness and a low incidence of an integumentary defect expressed as a variable loss of feathers. A low incidence of hypothyroidism is also present but is not limited to the amelanotic phenotype...
