1/16. Small cell type malignant melanoma which developed in a 16-year-old female with a congenital dermal nevus and metastasized 12 years after excision.

    A case of malignant melanoma arising from a congenital dermal nevus on the right forehead of a 16-year-old female is presented. In the mole, small pigmented nevoid cells gathered around the skin appendages and between the collagen fibers. From the age of 17, a verrucous nevoid melanoma consisting of lymphoblast-like large nevoid cells, which were positive for HMB-45 and had a high Ki-67 index up to 18.7%, gradually increased in size. The melanoma cells vertically invaded the dermis to a depth of 3 mm and radially spread in the papillary dermis. Twelve years after undergoing a wide local resection and additional chemotherapy, metastatic lesions were found in the lung and the anterior mediastinum, which gradually increased in size and caused death a few months later. Metastatic melanoma cells were positive for HMB-45 and had a high Ki-67 index up to 33.7%. Most metastatic melanoma cells were positive for p53 while the primary ones were negative. Deteriorating mutations probably accumulated during the latent period.

2/16. A case of combined nevus: compound nevus and spindle cell Spitz nevus.

    Combined nevi consisting of a Spitz nevus and an acquired nevus are unusual, and, to our knowledge, the combination of a spindle cell Spitz nevus and an overlying compound nevus has not been previously reported. We report a 17-year-old girl with a nodule on the left anterior lower extremity. The nodule was asymptomatic, firm, brown, symmetrical, dome-shaped, 8 mm in diameter, and not found with ulceration. Histological findings showed proliferation of spindle-shaped cells with an overlying compound nevus. The spindle-shaped cells were large, non-pigmented, uniform in size and shape, with rare mitoses and without nuclear atypia, and arranged in a storiform pattern in thick collagen bundles. They stained positively for S-100 and negatively for HMB-45. The lesion was considered to be a new type of combined nevus consisting of a spindle cell Spitz nevus and an overlying compound nevus.

3/16. Depigmented hypertrichosis following Blaschko's lines associated with cerebral and ocular malformations: a new neurocutaneous, autosomal lethal gene syndrome from the group of epidermal naevus syndromes?

    The lines of Blaschko represent one of the cutaneous patterns of mosaicism followed by various skin disorders. Developmental abnormalities affecting other tissues derived from the embryonic ectoderm and mesoderm are occasionally associated. We describe a 30-year-old man with depigmented, bilateral hypertrichosis and dilated follicular orifices following Blaschko's lines associated with cerebral and ocular malformations. The findings suggest a previously unreported neurocutaneous, autosomal lethal gene syndrome from the group of epidermal naevus syndromes.

4/16. Seborrheic keratosis with compound nevus, junctional nevus and basal cell carcinoma in the same lesion.

    Seborrheic keratosis can be associated with different neoplasms such as basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas and melanomas. We describe an unusual case of a man who presented with a brown plaque on his back. The clinical diagnosis was melanoma. Histopathologic examination of the lesion revealed four neoplasms: a compound nevus, a junctional nevus, a superficial basal cell carcinoma and a seborrheic keratosis. Although this association most likely represents a chance phenomenon, we discuss the possibility that the seborrheic keratosis developed from the nevus, and that subsequently the junctional nevus and the basal cell carcinoma developed from the seborrheic keratosis.

5/16. Psammomatous malignant melanoma arising in an intradermal naevus.

    AIMS: A wide variety of differentiation patterns may be found in malignant melanoma. Schwannian features are unusual, and mostly present in the desmoplastic variant. We report the first description of psammoma bodies in malignant melanoma. methods AND RESULTS: A malignant melanoma arose in an intradermal naevus of the scalp in a 51-year-old woman, displaying focal neural-like features in the form of rosette-like pseudo-meissnerian alveolar nests, as well as numerous psammoma bodies grouped in a few areas. Tumour cell immunostaining for S100, HMB45, NKI-C3, and vimentin was detected. In addition, both malignant and benign melanocytic cells showed widespread MART-1 immunoreactivity. Differential diagnosis with psammomatous melanotic schwannoma, a feature of Carney's complex, is particularly emphasized, since dermal variants of this nerve sheath neoplasm have been described. In addition, its potential relationship with cutaneous malignant melanotic neurocristic tumour is discussed. CONCLUSIONS: This is, to our knowledge, the first reported case of cutaneous malignant melanoma with psammoma bodies.

6/16. Cutis verticis gyrata secondary to a cerebriform intradermal nevus.

    We report the case of a 30-year-old black man with a large mass consisting of longitudinal parallel ridges and furrows on the left parietal region. A small, single, hyperpigmented macule was present at birth and gradually grew and extended over the years. Cutis verticis gyrata was suspected, and an investigation was performed to discharge the possibility of pachydermoperiostosis. However, results of biopsies obtained from 3 different lesional areas showed the same histopathologic features--deep-seated hair follicles and clusters of nevus cells concentrated in the dermis. Cerebriform intradermal nevus is a rare cause of cutis verticis gyrata. early diagnosis is extremely important to prevent the development of malignant melanoma.

7/16. scalp lesions in turner syndrome: a result of lymphoedema?

    Lymphoedema and skin naevi are common in children with turner syndrome (TS). Lymphoedema in the early stages of fetal life is thought to cause several of the phenotypic characteristics in patients with TS such as nuchal folds and pterygium colli. We present two patients with TS who have unusual lesions on the scalp. The first patient had an oval circumscribed lesion. Two biopsies were obtained from the lesion. Increased numbers of collagen fibres were seen in the reticular dermis suggesting the diagnosis of connective tissue naevus. The second patient presented with an area with skin folds on the scalp, similar to cutis verticis gyrata. Although unusual in TS, both lesions could be considered as resolving stages of lymphoedema. We suggest that karyotyping should be performed in cases of female infants presenting with similar lesions.

8/16. Epidermal naevus syndrome (Solomon's syndrome) associated with bladder cancer in a 20-year-old female.

    Epidermal naevus syndrome was first described by Solomon et al. in 1968, based on a study of 12 patients. Herein we report the case of a 20-year-old female diagnosed with epidermal naevus syndrome at the age of 3 years. Subsequently she experienced several different symptoms and at the last exploration a suspicious lesion was found in her bladder. The definitive pathology diagnosis was transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder, which is extremely rare in patients aged <21 years. It seems that this neoplastic lesion was directly related to the essential pathology of the patient, namely epidermal naevus syndrome.

9/16. Elevated serum antimelanocyte antibody level in cerebriform intradermal nevus with vitiligo.

    We describe a rare, but typical case of cerebriform intradermal nevus associated with vitiligo. A 45-year-old man had a patch of alopecia over his vertex scalp for 15 years. The microscopic findings of the biopsy revealed a typical deep-seated intradermal nevus and neuroid differentiation with a few pigments. Three hypopigmented patches developed on the forehead, cheek and index finger five years after the scalp lesion, with loss of both melanocytes and melanins. In addition, no dopa reactions were present. Compared to normal controls, the serum anti-melanocyte antibody level in the patient was elevated as determined by cellular enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cellular ELISA). This is the first reported case with elevation of serum antimelanocyte antibody level of cerebriform intradermal nevus with vitiligo. This antibody's presence may be related to the occurrence of the vitiligo in patient with cerebriform intradermal nevus.

10/16. A case of linear epidermal naevus presenting as genital warts--a cautionary tale.

    Linear epidermal naevus (LEN) in the genital area is quite rare. It may present at birth or appear later on in life, in infancy or childhood and occasionally for the first time in adult life. There are several variants of epidermal naevi (EN), which, to the less experienced, can be mistaken for warts. When extensive, it can be associated with abnormalities in other organ systems (epidermal naevus syndrome). The definitive treatment of LEN is surgical ablation with excision of underlying dermis, but this frequently leads to scarring. laser therapy is an alternative treatment modality and good results have been shown. We report an unusual case of LEN in the genital area in a 60-year-old man presenting as genital warts.
