 © 2001-2009, DermAtlas | Image Name: | melanoma_1_030815 | File Type: | jpg | |
| Diagnosis: | MELANOMA | Category: | neoplasm, malignant / hyperpigmentation | ||
| Body Site: | nose | Age: | 78 years | ||
| Contributor: | Ben Chong | ||||
| Description: | Irregular nests of atypical, pleomorphic spindle melanocytes extend from the epidermal-dermal junction to the base of the biopsy for a depth of 1.13 mm. A moderately intense lymphocytic infiltrate surrounds the invasive tumor. No ulceration is present. | ||||
| Comments: | Special stains confirmed the diagnosis of invasive malignant melanoma | ||||

| Diagnosis: | MELANOMA | Category: | neoplasm, malignant / hyperpigmentation | ||
| Body Site: | nose | Age: | 78 years | ||
| Contributor: | Ben Chong | ||||
| Description: | There is dense epidermal staining with AE1/3 which stains for cytokeratin. This is a normal finding in the epidermis. | ||||
| Comments: | The absence of AE1/3 in the tumor is characteristic of a melanoma and excludes a spindle cell tumor. | ||||

 © 2001-2009, DermAtlas | Image Name: | BlueNevus_1_030820 | File Type: | jpg | |
| Diagnosis: | NEVUS, BLUE / NEVUS, PIGMENTED | Category: | hyperpigmentation / lumps & bumps (plaques, nodules, tumors) | ||
| Body Site: | nipple / breast | Age: | 81 years | ||
| Contributor: | Ben Chong | ||||
| Description: | There is an enlarged population of spindle shaped melanocytes coupled with melanophages, which are plumper in size. A dense fibroblastic cellular response and melanin pigment are also present. Cellular atypia is not observed. | ||||
| Comments: | These findings are typical of a benign acquired blue nevus. | ||||

| Diagnosis: | PYOGENIC GRANULOMA | Category: | lumps & bumps (plaques, nodules, tumors) / neoplasm, benign | ||
| Body Site: | buttock | Age: | 17 years | ||
| Contributor: | Ben Chong | ||||
| Description: | There is enhanced proliferation of capillaries in a lobular pattern in the setting of granulation tissue. The surface epithelium is not present. | ||||
| Comments: | This 17-year-old girl was evaluated for a glistening hemorrhagic red nodule on the buttock. The biopsy findings were typical of a pyogenic granuloma. | ||||
