Diffuse cutaneous melanosis: rare complication of metastatic melanoma*
Diffuse cutaneous melanosis is a rare complication of metastatic melanoma related to a worse prognosis. There are few cases reported in the literature. Its pathogenesis has not been completely elucidated, although studies have suggested certain mechanisms for its occurrence. It is clinically manifested as a blue-gray discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes in a cephalo caudal progression...
متن کاملNasal mucosal melanosis may act as a harbinger of melanoma: A case report
BACKGROUND The progression from a benign pigmented lesion on the skin to cutaneous melanoma is better understood, and it could be presumed that a similar progression occurs with mucosal lesions. However, to our knowledge, there has never been documentation of melanosis transforming into melanoma over time. OBJECTIVE To describe a transformation of a mucosal melanosis into melanoma. METHODS ...
متن کاملThe risk of melanoma and neurocutaneous melanosis associated with congenital melanocytic nevi.
Congenital melanocytic nevi are commonly encountered in clinical practice. Although the development of malignant melanoma arising in small and intermediate congenital melanocytic nevi is rare, there is a significant risk of malignant degeneration associated with large congenital melanocytic nevi, in particular those that arise on the torso in the so-called "bathing trunk" distribution, where th...
متن کاملMalignant melanoma arising from unusual conjunctival blue nevus.
Cellular blue nevus is an uncommon pigmented tumor in the conjunctiva, where it generally appears as a deep, circumscribed, pigmented conjunctival mass. We report a case of conjunctival blue nevus that clinically resembled primary acquired melanosis and gave rise to conjunctival melanoma. A 41-year-old man developed a diffuse pigmented mass in the inferior fornix of his left eye. Over a 20-year...
متن کاملGeneralized and mucosal melanosis associated with ultra-late recurrence of malignant melanoma.
We describe a patient with progressive hyperpigmentation of the skin and gas-trointestinal melanosis. The pigmented lesions in the stomach and duodenum served as a diagnostic sign of recurrent disease, 26 years after excision of melano-ma of the skin. A barium swallow and gastroduodenos-copy were performed in a healthy 63-year-old man who had been suffering from vague abdominal symptoms for a f...
متن کاملProgression of conjunctival primary acquired melanosis (PAM) to widely spreaded malignant melanoma.
Primary acquired melanosis (PAM) is an acquired pigmentation of the conjunctival epithelium, a preinvasive pigmented lesion. When it is associated with cellular atypia it can lead to the developement of melanoma. We report a case report of malignant melanoma of the conjuntiva, which arrised from the conjuntival PAM. The disease was too extensive for ocular conservation, therefore exenteration w...
