The incidence of melanoma and its associated mortality has stabilized over the recent years, due in part to efforts directed at better prevention detection these lesions. We analysed trends distribution melanomas, mainly according their thickness.Data from Dermatology Service 'Virgen de la Victoria' University Hospital Malaga (Spain) showed a total 459 cases between 1990 2005, both inclusive. lesions were stratified year diagnosis (1990-96 1997-2005), sex, age (0-49, > or = 50), thickness...

Compared with other tumors, melanoma has displayed one of the largest increases in incidence recent years, and it is known to have a high metastatic potential. In cases metastasis, approximately two-thirds patients lymph-node metastases one-third develop systemic metastases. However, few studies been reported that analyzed different patterns according natural history melanoma. The main aim this study was analyze pathways assess time course development from cutaneous melanoma.A retrospective...

Composite cutaneous hemangioendothelioma (HE) is the most recently described variant of lesions known as HEs. It characterized by a mixture histologic patterns, namely, epithelioid HE, retiform and spindle cell hemangioma. We report new case this rare tumor located on back 23-year-old woman. This neoplasm considered to be borderline or low-grade malignancy, because despite its frequency it rarely metastasizes.

BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1)-inactivated melanomas can occur sporadically or in germline contexts, particularly recently recognized BAP1-tumor predisposition syndrome. Diagnosis represents a clinical and histopathological challenge, requiring comprehensive analysis of morphology sometimes molecular addition to immunohistochemistry. We report BAP1-inactivated cutaneous melanoma initially diagnosed as an atypical Spitz tumor on the auricle patient with Immunohistochemistry, fluorescence...

Systemic treatment with immunotherapy or targeted therapy can significantly improve survival in patients advanced (metastatic high-risk) melanoma. Fifty percent of melanoma have a BRAF mutation. Decisions on optimal sequencing systemic treatments should take into account drug- and tumor-related factors patient characteristics. Although the combination ipilimumab nivolumab is associated best outcomes, it significant toxicity. Targeted may be more favorable option certain clinical situations....
