Evaluation of surgical margins in melanocytic lesions: a survey among 152 dermatopathologistsJournal of Cutaneous Pathology - Tập 32 Số 4 - Trang 293-299 - 2005
Klaus Sellheyer, Wilma F. Bergfeld, Emily L. Stewart, Gerald A Roberson, Jeffrey Hammel
Background: Although guidelines are established for reporting tissue specimens of melanomas, such guidelines are not available for reporting surgical margins of benign melanocytic lesions.Methods: We surveyed 582 members of the American Society of Dermatopathology via a web‐based questionnaire to evaluate the practice of repo...... hiện toàn bộ
Immunohistochemical dual staining as an adjunct in assessment of mitotic activity in melanomaJournal of Cutaneous Pathology - Tập 39 Số 3 - Trang 324-330 - 2012
Kristian Ikenberg, Madeleine Pfaltz, Christiane Rakozy, Werner Kempf
Background: The mitotic rate was introduced as a major prognostic criterion for the staging of thin (≤1.0 mm) melanoma by the 2009 American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging and Classification (seventh edition). The detection of a single mitotic figure changes the tumor stage in thin melanoma. We sought to address the value of a dual staining to facilitate the determ...... hiện toàn bộ

‘Specific’ cutaneous infiltrate of B‐cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia at the site of a florid herpes simplex infectionJournal of Cutaneous Pathology - Tập 32 Số 8 - Trang 581-584 - 2005
Mirjana Ziemer, Anja Bornkessel, S. Hahnfeld, Wolfgang Weyers
Background: Specific cutaneous infiltrates in patients with leukemia generally carry a grim prognosis. However, non‐neoplastic skin diseases may be associated with recruitment of normal and neoplastic leukocytes circulating in the peripheral blood. In those instances, neoplastic cells may be detected in skin lesions without an adverse effect on prognosis.... hiện toàn bộ
Specific cutaneous infiltrates of B‐cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B‐CLL) at sites typical for Borrelia burgdorferi infectionJournal of Cutaneous Pathology - Tập 29 Số 3 - Trang 142-147 - 2002
Lorenzo Cerroni, Gerald Höfler, Barbara Bäck, Peter Wolf, Gerlinde Maier, Helmut Kerl
Background: Cutaneous manifestations of B‐cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B‐CLL) comprise a wide spectrum of clinicopathologic presentations. In some cases, onset of skin lesions is triggered by antigenic stimulation, and specific skin infiltrates at sites of previous herpes simplex or herpes zoster infection have been well documented. Specific skin manifestations...... hiện toàn bộ
Incidental chronic lymphocytic leukaemia in a biopsy of Merkel cell carcinomaJournal of Cutaneous Pathology - Tập 36 Số 6 - Trang 706-710 - 2009
Paul Craig, Jaime Eduardo Calonje, Mark Harries, Catherine M. Stefanato
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) shows cutaneous involvement in 2% of cases. Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare primary cutaneous epithelial neoplasm most commonly found in sun‐exposed sites in elderly male Caucasians. A 66‐year‐old man presented with a 2‐month history of a purple painless 2 cm tumor on the scalp. Excision biopsy revealed an incompletely excised MCC, and at the perip...... hiện toàn bộ
The phenotypic profile of dermatomyositis and lupus erythematosus: a comparative analysisJournal of Cutaneous Pathology - Tập 37 Số 6 - Trang 659-671 - 2010
Cynthia M. Magro, Jeremy P. Segal, A. Neil Crowson, Paul Chadwick
Background: The mechanisms which regulate cutaneous inflammation in the setting of collagen vascular disease have been a topic of recent interest; emphasis has been placed on type I interferon‐associated recruitment of CXCR3+ lymphocytes in dermatomyositis (DM). Methods: On a total of 42 biopsies from patients with DM, systemi...... hiện toàn bộ
