AI Article Synopsis
- The authors describe a case of a significant oral tumor, initially suspected to be an angiosarcoma based on traditional histological methods.
- Further analysis revealed the presence of premelanosomes, leading to a definitive diagnosis of an achromic malignant melanoma.
- The case highlights the importance of advanced diagnostic techniques in accurately identifying challenging tumors.
Article Abstract
The authors report a case of a large oral tumour. On the basis of classical histological and histochemical techniques, the diagnosis was oriented towards an angiosarcoma though it was not possibile to eliminate an achromic melanoma. Ultrastructural studies demonstrated the presence of premelanosomes and established the diagnosis of an achromic malignant melanoma. The clinical interest of this approach isthus emphasised.

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare inherited disease with the potential to affect virtually every organ system. Clinical presentation is age- and partly sex-dependent and varies broadly with respect to disease manifestations including treatment-refractory epilepsy, intellectual disability and TSC-associated neuropsychiatric disorders, chronic kidney disease or progressive lung function decline. Given the complexity of this disease, multidisciplinary care in specialized TSC centres is recommended.

Hypopigmented mycosis fungoides is a rare form of mycosis fungoides that is characterized by achromic lesions, early onset of disease, a predilection for darker skinned populations, and a predominance of CD8+ T cells. Due to the rarity and heterogeneous presentation of hypopigmented mycosis fungoides, there are no criteria that clearly define the clinical characteristics and treatment regimens for this condition. This retrospective study of 44 paediatric patients with hypopigmented mycosis fungoides aimed to summarize their epidemiological and clinical characteristics and assess the effectiveness and safety of different treatment regimens.

According to European consensus-based interdisciplinary guidelines for melanoma, cutaneous melanoma (CM) is the most deadly form of dermatological malignancy, accounting for 90% of the deaths of skin cancer patients. In addition to cutaneous melanoma, mucosal melanoma occurs in four major anatomical sites, including the upper respiratory tract, the conjunctiva, the anorectal region, and the urogenital area. As this cancer type metastasizes, a classification used in the current medical literature is the distinction between secondary lesions and primary malignant melanoma of the abdominal cavity.
