ENGLAND (Painful umors)
Eccrine spiradenoma, Neuroma, Glomus, Leiomyoma, Angioma, Neuroma, DF
Melanocytic Nevi
Congential are larger and darker with hair, contain a possibblity of malignant transformation
-Most childhood nevi start as junctional then turn into compound and finally into dermal
Spitz Nevus
- Often redder, grows rapidly and then stops or involutes
- Histology will show spindle shaped malignant appearing melanocytes in the epidermis with edema
Atypical Nevi Mutation
CDNK2A, P16
BCC
- Most commonly in hedgehog pathway
- Gorlin syndrom
- Generally nodular, can be superficial, cicatricial, pigemnted
- Mohs for large lesions (1cm) cicatricial, or on sensitive areas
SCC
Most commonly P53 mutations, Ferguson-Smith is congenital
- Palpate local nodes , mohs for high risk
- Bowens is SCCIS
KA
- Can’t tell difference unless get whole slide histologically
- often on face and often involute
Malignant Melanoma Genetics and Risk Factors
CDKN2A (P16), CDK4 also phenotype and sun exposure
Clinical Features
Begin with superficial spreading or radial growth phase before nodular invasive phase
Types
- Lentigo maligna: Melanocyte proliferation confined to the epidermis, may track down hair follicles
- Lentigo Maligna Melanoma: Breaks into the dermis
- Superficial Spreading: Most common, has a long radial growth phase
- Acral: Palms and soles
- Nodular: Skips the radial growth phase and goes straight to invasive
- Amelanotic: Diagnostic quandry
Staging
I- Depth less than .75 Ib-.75-1.5 IIA-1.5-4 IIB/III-Nodal Mets IV-Widely metastatic
