1 What I Learned from 3 Cases and 3 Antibodies Melinda Sanders, M.D Vanderbilt University Medical Center Professor of Pathology Consultant in Breast Pathology Disclosure of Relevant Financial Relationships USCAP requires that all faculty in a position to influence or control the content of CME disclose any relevant financial relationship WITH COMMERCIAL INTERESTS which they or their spouse/partner have, or have had, within the past 12 months, which relates to the content of this educational activity and creates a conflict of interest. Dr. Melinda Sanders declares he/she has no conflict(s) of interest to disclose.

If GATA3 negative, perform panel of MM markers Keratin Expression in Melanoma Keratin expression typically helps support a diagnosis of carcinoma and rules out sarcoma, lymphoma, and melanoma Expression not infrequent most common AE 1/3, CK8, CK18, MNF 116 Aberrant keratin expression more common in metastatic than primary 4 10% primary melanomas 40 70% metastatic melanoma Implies a correlation between keratin expression and a more aggressive tumor phenotype.

11 Summary- What I learned from 3 cases and more than 3 antibodies: Melanoma - 2nd most common non-hematopoietic neoplasm to metastasize to the breast, and although rare, primary melanomas of the breast occur MM must be in ddx for woman presenting with an ER-/PR- breast or axillary mass, esp if unusual morph, nested and TILs Evidence of CK expression in a breast/axillary mass does not R/O MM Aberrant CK expression (esp. CK7/8/18, AE1/3, CAM5.2, MNF-116) in melanoma, especially metastatic, should prompt use of a battery of melanoma markers- MITF, HMB-45, MART-1 before excluding MM Summary- What I learned from 3 cases and more than 3 antibodies: Approx 10% BC CK7, further highlighting the unreliability of CKs in this distinction GATA3 most sensitive marker for BC in both in breast and metastases, ER+ and ER, most helpful in identification of CK7 TNBC GATA3 + excludes melanoma Important pitfall, SOX 10 expressed in 92% of melanomas also expressed in 40% breast cancers, most common in TNBC (>60%), inc. metaplastic carcinomas S100 most sensitive marker for MM (>95%), however, up to 50% of BC may express S100, thus ddx for S100+/SOX10+ neoplasm must inc. BC requiring additional w/u When evaluating metastatic biopsy, do not underestimate value of obtaining block of primary for comparison IHC testing Consider molecular testing in unresolvable cases THANK YOU 11
