Comparison of Melanoma Subtypes among Korean Patients by Morphologic Features and Ultraviolet Exposure
BACKGROUND Genetic alterations have been identified in melanomas according to different levels of sun exposure. Whereas the conventional morphology-based classification provides a clue for tumor growth and prognosis, the new classification by genetic alterations offers a basis for targeted therapy. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the biological behavior of melanoma subty...
متن کاملAnorectal malignant melanoma: morphologic and immunohistochemical features.
We reviewed 17 cases of primary anorectal malignant melanoma. Morphologic features evaluated included junctional change, pigmentation, morphology, and mitotic rate. Immunohistochemical stains were performed for/with S-100 protein, HMB-45, MelanA, tyrosinase, vimentin, KIT, and pankeratin. Morphologic subtypes were as follows: epithelioid, 12 cases; spindle cell, 7 cases; lymphoma-like, 10 cases...
متن کاملImproving Melanoma Classification by Integrating Genetic and Morphologic Features
BACKGROUND In melanoma, morphology-based classification systems have not been able to provide relevant information for selecting treatments for patients whose tumors have metastasized. The recent identification of causative genetic alterations has revealed mutations in signaling pathways that offer targets for therapy. Identifying morphologic surrogates that can identify patients whose tumors e...
متن کاملComparison of MRI features and surgical outcome among the subtypes of focal cortical dysplasia
PURPOSE Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is the most common pathological diagnosis in patients who have undergone surgical treatment for intractable neocortical epilepsy. However, presurgical identification of MRI abnormalities in FCD patients remains difficult, and there are no highly sensitive imaging parameters available that can reliably differentiate among FCD subtypes. The purpose of our st...
