1 Pitfalls in the diagnosis of melanocytic tumors Timothy McCalmont, MD University of California, San Francisco Ways to get into trouble, ideas on avoiding trouble, and diagnostic approaches to keep trouble at bay Melanoma or not? Melanocytic nevus or not? Common and routine determination made by histopathologists Reasonably accurate (we trust!), much of the time An incorrect judgment holds implications for both patient and physician 1
2 Risks of an incorrect judgment (a misdiagnosis) Undertreatment Overtreatment Embarrassment Legal culpability All of the above The mindset: There are many ways to get into trouble in the interpretation of melanocytic tumors We can t talk about all of them, at least not today The best means to stay out of trouble is to avoid it in the first place Stephen Jay Gould The world contains far more objects and subtleties than we have concepts, so we make mistakes all the time 2
3 Wallace Clark A pathology specimen represents little bits of a fellow human being; the pathologist will be bonded to that person for a lifetime and should never underestimate that bond Wallace Clark Do not ever make the diagnosis of melanoma quickly, casually, or without vigilant forethought of the consequences; for the recipient, a life is changed forever Ways to get into trouble Poor technical work Not paying attention Misplay of a pagetoid configuration Being too strong with a Spitz Not knowing the full Spitz spectrum Misplay of desmoplasia Misplay of a biphasic configuration Missing mitoses Missing neurotropism 3
4 Ways to get into trouble Poor technical work Not paying attention Misplay of a pagetoid configuration Being too strong with a Spitz Not knowing the full Spitz spectrum Misplay of desmoplasia Misplay of a biphasic configuration Missing mitoses Missing neurotropism 4

7 Dodging the pitfall Poor sectioning may obscure key findings, so don t accept that Pale staining may hide cellular and tissue details, so don t accept that Poor fixation or use of non-formalin fixatives may impede interpretation (including molecular evaluation) Ways to get into trouble Poor technical work Not paying attention Misplay of a pagetoid configuration Being too strong with a Spitz Not knowing the full Spitz spectrum Misplay of desmoplasia Misplay of a biphasic configuration Missing mitoses Missing neurotropism 7

72 72
73 Dodging the pitfall When encountering two populations, consider combined nevus as well as melanoma ex nevus Most melanoma initiates along the junction; be cautious in the diagnosis of wholly dermal melanoma ex melanocytic nevus Ways to get into trouble Poor technical work Not paying attention Misplay of a pagetoid configuration Being too strong with a Spitz Not knowing the full Spitz spectrum Misplay of desmoplasia Misplay of a biphasic configuration Missing mitoses Missing neurotropism 73

75 75
76 76
77 Called a Spitz and nothing more done No comment regarding: unconventional features mitotic figures status of the margin need for consideration of reexcision 77
78 78
79 79
80 Called a persistent Spitz and nothing more done 80
81 About 2 years later 81
82 82
83 83
84 84
85 Now clearly melanoma of 2.5 mm in thickness; SLNB pursued 85
86 Diagnosis: Melanoma, with metastasis to lymph nodes History repeats itself: 25 year old with a thigh lesion, called an irritated Spitz 86
87 87
88 88
89 Persistent and metastatic melanoma noted within 18 months; patient expired within 48 months 89
90 In addition to watching for mitotic figures, Ki-67 or phosphohistone can be used 90
91 91
92 Dodging the pitfall Dermal mitotic figures do not equate with melanoma, but the finding of mitoses mandates caution Spitz nevi and other unconventional melanocytic tumors warrant consideration of molecular assessment and complete excision 92
93 Ways to get into trouble Poor technical work Not paying attention Misplay of a pagetoid configuration Being too strong with a Spitz Not knowing the full Spitz spectrum Misplay of desmoplasia Misplay of a biphasic configuration Missing mitoses Missing neurotropism History of melanoma of lip, resected in

102 102
103 103
104 Ultimate diagnosis: Melanoma with unrecognized neurotropism, with margins involved; narrow excision was insufficient and thus persistence ensued 104
105 Dodging the pitfall Intentionally screen for neurotropism when evaluating each and every melanoma Similarly, intentionally screen for other uncommon findings, including vascular invasion A checklist approach may be helpful Ways to get into trouble Poor technical work Not paying attention Misplay of a pagetoid configuration Being too strong with a Spitz Not knowing the full Spitz spectrum Misplay of desmoplasia Misplay of a biphasic configuration Missing mitoses Missing neurotropism Copy of this talk: Through the meeting organizers If all else fails, go to dermpath.ucsf.edu and contact me 105
