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 reporting surgical margins in melanocytic lesions. We were
especially inter... 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 determination of the mitotic rate
and... 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.Methods: In a patient with
B‐cell chronic... 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 of B‐CLL can also be
observed ... 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
periphery of ... 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,
systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) and
subac... hiện toàn bộ
