Skin Path CIS Flashcards
Biopsy of 3 of 100 tan to brown macules (2mm-8mm) all over the body in non/sun exposed areas. Biopsy show single and clustered atypical melanocytes at the DE junction w/o upward migration, linear fibrosis of the superficial dermis, and sparse inflammatory infiltrate in dermis.
dysplastic nevus syndrome
*melanocytes
increased pigment in basal keratinocytes
ephelis
Tumor on legs of middle-age and young women. Asx or tender. indolent behavior. Hx of antecedent trauma. Factor 13a-positive dermal dendritic cells.
B9 Fibrous Histiocytoma (dermatofibroma)
Firm, tan to brown papules. B9, spindle shaped cells. Many cases demonstrate a peculiar form of overlying epidermal hyperplasia, characterized by downward transformation….
B9 Fibrous Histiocytoma (dermatofibroma)
may suddenly appear in large numbers as part of a paraneoplastic syndrome (leser trelate sign) due to stimulation of keratinocytes by transforming GF-alpha produced by tumor cells of the GI tract. FGFR3

69 year old farmer with male baldness with lesion on top of his head.
PMH: orthotopic cardiac transplant at 60yo for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
PE: well healed scars from prior sclap excicional biopsies. Red-tan, nodular and centrally ulcerated 14cm lesions on scalp. SCattered red/tan hyperkaratotic lesions on face, scalp, arms.
Biopsy of nodular mass reveals atypical polygonal cells with intercellular bridges extending into dermis and involving lymphtics.
Squamous cell carcinoma
risk factors for SCCa
- immunosuppression (transplant)
- ionizing radiation (**UV light –> DNA damage)
