Spitz Nevus D. Melanoma E. Atypical Spitz Tumor Classic Spitz Nevus AKA Spindle and Epithelioid Cell Nevus First known description from Darier and Civatte back in 1910 Characterized by Sophie Spitz in 1948 as Melanomas of Childhood with a series of 13 cases with 1 patient dying of widely metastatic disease anticipating problems to come Usually arises in the head and neck area (particularly cheeks), trunk and lower limbs as a rapidly growing papule that is either flesh-colored (mimicking DF/JXG) or red/vascular (mimicking PG) 3

4 Spitz S. Am J Pathol. 1948;24: McKee PH, Calonje E, Granter SR. Pathology of the skin with clinical correlations Philadelphia Elsevier Mosby; 2005 Architecture Classic Spitz Nevus Usually compound - predominantly junctional (Reed), dermal (desmoplastic Spitz) Junctional component: Well-circumscribed large nests of spindle cells on a raining down pattern Epidermal hyperplasia Kamino bodies Dermal component: Symmetrical, imparting a dome-shape to the lesion Inverted triangle shape with evident maturation ( zonation ) Cytology Inherently atypical cytomorphology Epithelioid and spindle cells with pink/ hyalinized cytoplasm and large, often pleomorphic nuclei with vesicular chromatin and prominent nucleoli bizarre forms and giant cells can be seen Pagetoid is often seen ( Pagetoid variant ) OK as far as it is well circumscribed and within the lesion Grow rapidly: mitoses are commonly seen OK as far as they are not marginal Busam KJ, Barnhill RL. Am J Surg Pathol Sep;19(9): Barnhill RL. Mod Pathol. 2006;19 Suppl 2:S Dermal component: Symmetrical, imparting a dome-shape to the lesion Inverted triangle shape with evident maturation ( zonation ) 4

5 Junctional component: Well-circumscribed large nests of spindle cells on a raining down pattern Epidermal hyperplasia HBM45 p16 HMB45 positivity only in the junctional/superficial dermal components and retention of p16 immunoreactivity, reassuring features Spitz Nevus Spitz Nevus Spitzoid Melanoma 5

12 McKee PH, Calonje E, Granter SR. Pathology of the skin with clinical correlations Philadelphia Elsevier Mosby; 2005 Desmoplastic Spitz Nevus Following pioneering work by Dr. Bastian s group, it was found that the majority of the lesions this Spitz variant show an activation of the HRAS gene, via increased copy number of 11p (amplification) or via activating mutations of HRAS Bastian BC et al Am J Pathol Sep;157(3): HRAS p.g13r,p.a11s HRAS p.g13r,p.a11s Proline for Arginine in position 13 Alanine for Serine in position 11 Pictures courtesy of Dr. Ma.

13 Nevus Spilus Nevus Spilus, AKA speckled lentiginous nevus can be congenital or present in the fist decade of life and often affects Caucasians Tends to follow Blaschko lines and the segmental variants are associated with malignant degeneration Spitz nevi arising in the midst of nevus spilus (agminated Spitz) have reported to harbor HRAS mutations Nevus spilus associated with mosaicism syndromes are also associated with HRAS mutations (mosaicism RASopathies) Sarin KY et al JAMA Dermatol Sep;149(9): Luo S, Tsao H J Invest Dermatol Oct;134(10): Segmental Nevus Spilus Regular Nevus Spilus Haenssle HA et al J Am Acad Dermatol Aug;61(2): Sarin KY et al JAMA Dermatol Sep;149(9):

Atypical proliferative Nodule with Spitzoid Features arising in a giant congenital nevus C. Collision compound congenital nevus and Spitzoid Melanoma D. Giant congenital nevus with focal area of hypercellularity Proliferative Nodules in Giant Congenital Nevi Giant congenital nevi (GCN, > 20 cm) have an estimated 5-10% risk of malignant transformation, particularly during the first 5 years of life. Nevertheless, melanomas arising in this setting are extremely rare On the other hand, proliferative nodules (PN) are benign neoplasms that typically present as papules or nodules within the dermis of GCN in 2.9% to 19% of GCN according to some series Yelamos O et al Am J Surg Pathol. 2015;39:

22 The mean age of the 19 patients with PN was 8.1 years (median 5 y) with a range from 1 day to 20 years Median follow-up was 49 months with a range from 6 months to 14 years One PN showed Spitzoid Features Yelamos O et al Am J Surg Pathol. 2015;39: lethal childhood melanomas, diagnosed over a 41-year period Expansile nodules, sheet-like growth pattern and infiltrative borders were noted in most cases (83%) The majority of the cases (9 cases, 75%) demonstrated classic adult-type melanoma epithelioid morphology without outright Spitzoid features The overall features of these tumors were almost Indistinguishable from adult-type melanomas Prieto-Granada CN et al Pathology Dec;48(7): Brief guide on management of Spitzoid/ Pediatric Melanocytic Lesions Benign Spitz nevi: Conservative re-excision or observation for recurrence Atypical Spitz nevus/tumor: Re-excision (5-10 mm margin) and clinical follow up Nevus spilus/giant congenital nevus with proliferative nodules: Excision if possible, observation and further excisions of new lesions develop Pediatric melanomas: Therapeutic approach similar to melanomas in adults but less aggressively if prepubertal, with sentinel lymph node biopsy and staging procedures 22
