3 Exhibit 1 19 y/o M with lesion on posterior neck 3 diagnoses proferred: severely atypical compound melanocytic lesion with Spitzoid features, favor melanoma favor peculiar nevus with Spitzoid and congenital features but cannot r/o melanoma markedly atypical compound Spitzoid melanocytic tumor WLE and SLNbx: both negative Four years after surgery: patient develops multiple brain and lung metastases 3

4 Basic conundrum Criteria don t always predict behavior (or even SLN involvement) Misdiagnosed melanoma major issue (#1 lawsuit for dermatopathologists) Underdiagnosis Recurrence or death Loss of opportunity for adjuvant treatment Medicolegal Overdiagnosis Surgical morbidity SLNB procedure not proven to increase OS Psychological trauma Insurability 4

9 Atypical Spitz Tumor Distinct entity or IDK? Large size, generally > 1.0cm Deeper extension, often involving subcutis Asymmetry, ulceration, poor circumscription Prominent pagetoid melanocytosis High cellular density and/or confluence of melanocytes Absence of maturation Increased deep/marginal mitoses (>2-6/mm 2 ) Spitzoid cytomorphology Barnhill, RL.

13 Death in patients with AST >300 reported cases of AST, most treated with SLN mapping Seven total deaths Ages 12,13,14, 24, 43, 46, and 50 6 had no SLNB, 1 had +SLN Raskin L et al.

23 Meaning of SLN involvement Recurrence and death vanishingly rare in 13 series with followup ranging from 9-64 months Comparison with childhood melanoma 5 year o/s ~75% ~1/2 of recurrence/death occurs after 5 years AST could represent unique, less aggressive subtype of melanoma potentially cured by SLN removal

24 Pros and cons of SLN biopsy Diagnosis? Metastatic melanocytic tumor of uncertain malignant potential Pros Guides further therapy/monitoring May be saved more extensive surgery later Alleviates uncertainty, about 2/3 get good news May be therapeutic Cons Guides further therapy/monitoring May create unecessary anxiety

29 Fluorescence in situ hybridization Initial four-probe assay (6p25, Cep6, 6q23, 11q13) tested on unequivocal neoplasms: sensitivity 87%, specificity 95% Newer four-probe assay with 6p25, 8q24, 9p21, 11q13: sens. 94%, spec. 98% Polyploidy: 10% of typical Spitz have balanced gains in all four probe sets (3-4x) Isaac et al.

30 FISHing for ASTs Original assay 25 typical and atypical Spitz with known outcome (4 deaths/advanced logoregional disease) 24% of cases FISH positive (3 had <5 year f/u) 100% sensitive, 57% specific 16 AST with long-term outcome (1 death) All negative (0% sensitive, 0% specific) Massi et al.

31 FISHing for ASTs Newer assay Recently tested on 75 AST 64 uneventful 5 year f/u, 11 with advanced locoregional disease, distant metastasis or death All 11 patients with advanced disease had abnormality of at least one locus 9 showed deletions of 9p21-most significant and only feature predictive of death However, 24.3% of patients with uneventful follow up had a positive result Sensitivity 100%, specificity 74% Gerami et al, Am J Surg Pathol, Feb 2013

44 Summary Atypical Spitz tumor: What does it mean and how is it managed? Increasingly recognized melanocytic neoplasm which deviates from typical benign Spitz but does not seem to have a distinctive molecular or genetic profile Most common in children and young adults Frequent but low-volume SLN metastasis Low recurrence rate with relatively long-term followup 44

45 Summary Atypical Spitz tumor: What does it mean and how is it managed? Workup should include expert consultation, molecular analysis by FISH and/or CGH Recommend wide excision and SLN biopsy until reliable test to exclude melanoma is available
