Defining high-risk patients: beyond the 8the AJCC melanoma staging system.
Arch Dermatol Res
December 2024
Department of Medical and Surgical Science (DIMEC), University of Bologna, Bologna, 40138, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- - Melanoma cases are on the rise, leading to frequent updates in guidelines for diagnosis, staging, and treatment; recent approvals now include adjuvant therapy for stage IIb/c melanoma.
- - A study involving 92 melanoma patients revealed that those with stage IIb/c have a later age of diagnosis and a higher occurrence of specific characteristics like ulceration and angiotropism compared to stage IIIa patients.
- - While not statistically significant, stage IIb/c patients showed a higher rate of metastasis over a 5-year period (15%) compared to those with stage IIIa melanoma (4%), highlighting the potential benefits of adjuvant immunotherapy for stage IIb/c patients.
Tenosynovitis with psammomatous calcifications: Series of 18 cases and review of the literature emphasizing a common source of expert consultation and updated differential diagnosis.
Virchows Arch
December 2024
Department of Pathology, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, 401 N Broadway, Weinberg Building 2245, Baltimore, MD, 21231, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - Tenosynovitis with psammomatous calcifications (TPC) is a rare, non-cancerous condition that often affects women and is thought to result from repetitive use or trauma, commonly appearing at sites like the hands, feet, and wrists.
- - In a study involving 18 new cases, most patients presented with painful masses, and imaging often showed benign characteristics, but many of these cases were misdiagnosed as more serious conditions like gout or tumors.
- - Follow-up on patients (mostly for around 30 months) showed no local recurrences after surgical removal, highlighting the necessity for greater awareness among medical professionals regarding TPC.

Article Synopsis
- Primitive cutaneous T-cell lymphomas are skin-specific lymphomas, distinct from systemic lymphomas affecting the skin.
- The most common types include mycosis fungoides, CD30+ lymphoproliferations, and erythrodermic T-cell lymphomas, with several rarer forms also identified.
- Diagnosis relies on clinical skin exams and biopsies, enhanced by molecular genetics, while treatments are categorized into five main types, including skin therapies and immunotherapies.

Acral melanoma (AM) is a subtype of cutaneous melanoma located on the palms, soles, and nails. The pathogenesis of AM involves mechanical stimulation and characteristic tumor-promoting mutations, such as those in the proto-oncogene. Dermoscopy is useful for diagnosing AM, which is characterized by parallel ridge patterns and irregular diffuse pigmentation.
