The mutated from of the gene is stable and can be detected with immunohistochemistry methods. There is much controversy about the expression rate of this gene in malignant melanoma. Objective: To determine the frequency of the P53 antigen expression by sex, age, type and thickness...
متن کاملBilateral cerebellopontine angle metastatic melanoma: a case report.
Although melanoma accounts for approximately 1% of all malignancies, melanoma metastases to the cerebellopontine angles (CPAs) are exceedingly rare. Here we describe a patient with melanoma metastases to the internal auditory canals and CPAs who presented with a remote history of cutaneous melanoma. This patient had a rapidly progressive hearing loss, vestibulopathy, and facial nerve dysfunctio...
متن کاملMetastatic Melanoma of the Gallbladder in an Asymptomatic Patient
Malignant Melanoma (MM) is among the most dangerous malignancies with some of the least known survival rates. Melanoma most commonly metastasizes to regional lymph nodes, the lungs, and brain. Metastatic disease of the gallbladder (GB) is exceptionally rare making it difficult to diagnose. The fact that typically patients do not present until they are symptomatic-only after widespread metastati...
متن کاملComparison of c-Kit expression between primary and metastatic melanoma of skin and mucosa
Background: Melanoma causes the greatest morbidity and mortality of all skin cancers. Mucosal melanoma is a rare but highly aggressive neoplasm. According to previous studies the prevalence of KIT mutations in acrallentiginous and mucosal melanomas is relatively low (less than 15–20%), but it can have profound therapeutic implications for localized high risk or metastatic diseases. Our goal w...
متن کاملPrimary Dermal Melanoma in a Patient with a History of Multiple Malignancies: A Case Report with Molecular Characterization
INTRODUCTION Primary dermal melanoma (PDM) is a recently described clinical entity accounting for less than 1% of all melanomas. Histologically, it is located in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue, and it shows no connections with the overlying epidermis. The differential diagnosis is principally made along with that of metastatic cutaneous melanoma. CASE REPORT A 72-year-old Caucasian woman w...
