Article Synopsis
  • - Melanoma is influenced by both environmental factors and specific genetic predispositions, particularly involving CDKN2A mutations and MC1R variants.
  • - A study compared 107 familial melanoma patients and 1,390 sporadic cases, revealing familial patients were younger, had more atypical naevi, and a higher incidence of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
  • - The presence of CDKN2A mutations was linked to more severe symptoms, while MC1R variants were associated with earlier diagnosis and more SCC cases, suggesting targeted prevention strategies for familial melanoma in the Mediterranean region.

We report the unique association of Masson's pseudoangiosarcoma (endothelial papillary hyperplasia) and extramedullary hematopoiesis. The lesion was present as a violaceous nodule on the side of the tongue of a 78-year-old man with history of multiple myeloma and long-standing mild anemia. This association between a peculiar form of thrombus organization and extramedullary hematopoiesis has been reported previously only once, in an infant with a cranial hematoma, and raises interesting pathogenetic questions.
