Digital dermoscopy analysis for the differentiation of atypical nevi and early melanoma: a new quantitative semiology.
OBJECTIVES To use a digital dermoscopy analyzer with a series of "borderline" pigmentary skin lesions (ie, clinically atypical nevi and early melanoma) to find correlation between the studied variables and to determine their discriminating power with respect to histological diagnosis. DESIGN A total of 147 pigmentary skin lesions were histologically examined by 3 experienced dermatopathologis...
متن کاملHypopigmented atypical Spitzoid neoplasms (atypical Spitz nevi, atypical Spitz tumors, Spitzoid melanoma): a clinicopathological update
The clinicopathologic classification, diagnosis, and management of Spitzoid melanocytic lesions is one of the most problematic topics in dermato-oncology and dermatopathology. After earlier anecdotal reports [1,2], the controversial history of these controversial lesions began in 1948 when Sophie Spitz described 13 cases of what she called “juvenile melanoma,” underlining its presumably good pr...
متن کاملDysplastic nevi and melanoma.
Dysplastic nevi are described as being on a continuum between common acquired nevi and melanoma because they are morphologically and biologically intermediate between these 2 entities. Since initially being reported as histologic lesions observed in melanoma-prone families, there has been considerable debate about the definition of dysplastic nevi, the histologic and clinical criteria used to d...
متن کامل[Melanocytic nevi, melanoma, and pregnancy].
Malignant melanoma is among the malignant tumors whose incidence has risen markedly in recent decades. For many years the medical community debated the potential adverse effects of female hormones (whether of exogenous or pregnancy-related endogenous origin), on melanocytic nevi and malignant melanoma. Given that women have been delaying pregnancy until their thirties or forties and that the in...
متن کاملp16 Expression Is Lost in Severely Atypical Cellular Blue Nevi and Melanoma Compared to Conventional, Mildly, and Moderately Atypical Cellular Blue Nevi
Background. Significant decreases in p16 expression have been shown to occur in melanoma compared to Spitz tumors, and loss of p16 staining has been found to correlate with melanoma tumor progression. However, comparison of p16 between atypical cellular blue nevi (CBN) and melanoma has not been reported previously. Methods. p16 immunohistochemical staining was evaluated in 14 atypical CBN, 8 co...
