Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin T-cell lymphoma diagnosed in patients with a history of breast implants. Most patients develop a periprosthetic effusion at early stages of disease while less common presentations include a palpable mass, severe capsular contracture, lymphadenopathy, or cutaneous erythema. Due to the complex nature of this disease, a multidisciplinary approach is necessary for optimal management, particularly in locally advanced disease or inoperable patients.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare head and neck cancer; even more infrequently, it presents as a primary lesion at other sites. Due to ACC's usual pattern of perineural and perivascular spread, it often manifests in delayed local recurrence and distant metastases. Metastasis to the kidney is very rare with as few as 15 cases reported in the literature.

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is diagnosed through histopathological and immunohistochemical examination of biopsies from skin or other organs. Its distinguishing features include perinuclear dot-like staining with Cytokeratin 20 (CK20) and detection of Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) using various methods. However, CK20 and MCPyV negative MCC cases have been reported at varying rates.

Background: Primary tumor thickness is important for prognosis of melanoma patients. To enhance prevention and quantify the true burden of melanoma, better understanding of thickness patterns and associated characteristics is crucial. Previous studies have been limited to report trends and address risk factors of thickness in specific melanoma subtypes in the Greek population.
