1 Cutaneous Melanocytic Tumours Introduction Melanocytic Tumours: Update on Epidemiology and Molecular Biology Thomas Brenn Wide clinical and morphological spectrum Ranging from benign naevi to melanoma Majority benign Separating benign from malignant poses significant clinical and histological challenge Most important: identification of predictors of outcome Melanocytic Tumours Naevi Melanoma Common acquired naevi SSM Congenital naevi Nodular M Special site naevi Acral lentiginous M Dysplastic naevi Lentigo maligna M Sclerosing naevi Desmoplastic M Blue Naevi Mucosal M DPN Lentiginous M Blue naevus like M Uveal M Cutaneous Melanocytic Tumours Intermediate Malignancy Spitzoid melanoctic tumours Pigmented epithelioid melanocytoma (Pigment synthesising melanoma) 1
2 Melanoma Epidemiology The 20 Most Common Cancers in 2011 Number of New Cases, UK The 10 Most Commonly Diagnosed Cancers: 2012 Estimates Total Number and Percentage of New Cases Diagnosed per Year, Worldwide Malignant Melanoma (C43): Anatomical Distribution Average Number of New Cases Per Year and Age-Specific Incidence Rates per 100,000 Population, UK Malignant Melanoma (C43) Percentage Distribution of Cases Diagnosed on Parts of the Body, by Sex, UK,
3 Risk Factors Fair skin Sun exposure chronic sun exposure intermittent sun exposure, repeated burns Increasing age Large number of atypical naevi Giant congenital naevi Family and personal history of melnanoma Deficient immune system Xeroderma pigmentosun Malignant Melanoma (C43): Melanoma Incidence European Age-Standardised Incidence Rates per 100,000 Population, by Sex, Great Britain Melanoma Mortality Melanoma Survival Malignant Melanoma (C43): European Age-Standardised Mortality Rates per 100,000 Population, UK Malignant Melanoma (C43): Net Survival up to Ten Years after Diagnosis, Adults (Aged 15-99), England and Wales 3
