2 Melanomas and Nevi. Nevi are important mainly in relation to melanoma Precursors but risk for individual lesions is low Risk markers important mainly in high risk situations Simulants important in everyday clinical decision-making Makes sense to consider attributes of melanomas before discussing nevi Low UV Pathway I Low-CSD Melanoma Supertpficial Spreading Melanoma Lentiginous junctional nevus Banal Acquired Nevus (junctional, compound, dermal) Low Grade Dysplasia High Grade Dysplasia Deep Pigmented Bap-1 penetrating Epithelioid Deficiency nevus (DPN)/ Melanocytoma Melanocytoma Melanocytoma (PEM) Compound dysplastic nevus Superficial Spreading Melanoma Melanoma in Melanoma in Melanoma in BPDM (rare) DPN (rare) PEM (rare) BRAF V600E, (BRAF or NRAS NRAS)+BAP1 TERT, CDKN2A, TP53, PTEN (BRAF, MEK1, (BRAF+PRKAR1 or NRAS) A) or PRKCA +(CBNN1 or APC) Superficial spreading or pagetoid melanoma 2

Malignant melanoma, superficial spreading type, nonulcerated, nontumorigenic and nonmitogenic invasive radial growth phase only, Clark level II, greatest Breslow thickness 0.28 mm, see comment. Comment Dermal mitotic rate is zero, tumor infiltrating lymphocytes are absent (with moderate noninfiltrating lymphocytes), there is no radial growth phase regression, there is no ulcer, there are no microscopic satellites, and there is no evidence of vascular, lymphatic or neural invasion. Age < 56 Associated compound dysplastic nevus. Appears to be minimally excised. MPATH-Dx % 5 year survival Case 2. Clinical Information. Lesion of left shin with a mottled color in a 26-year-old woman. Reason for Consultation. I am enclosing for your consultation a melanocytic lesion present for many years from the right shin of a 27-year-old woman. Though the lesion had not changed (according to the patient), her clinician decided to remove it because he didn t like the mottled color. 6
7 Description. A relatively broad moderately cellular plaque-like lesion. Comprised mainly of nested large epithelioid melanocytes with abundant cytoplasm that contains finely divided dusty melanin pigment. Some bridging nests between adjacent rete - possible junctional melanocytic dysplasia of the epithelioid type. Nests somewhat haphazardly distributed along the interface Poor circumscription Patchy to bandlike lymphocytic infiltrate Diffuse fibroplasia Nests somewhat haphazardly distributed along the interface Poor circumscription Patchy to bandlike lymphocytic infiltrate Diffuse fibroplasia 7

Melanoma? Nevus? 8
9 Dermal mitotic activity in atypical cells that resemble those in epidermis. The mitosis on the right could be considered junctional; however there seems to be a wisp of collagen between the nest which is predominantly located in the dermis, and the overlying junctional nest. Non tumorigenic mitogenic VGP: Nests in the dermis are smaller than the largest nests in the epidermis. Count dermal mitoses in 1 sq. mm even if not fully occupied by tumor, express rate as a whole number Criteria for Melanoma vs. Nevi Feature Melanoma Dysplastic Nevus Nevus Size larger intermediate smaller Symmetry poor good good Rete ridges irregular uniformly elongated uniform Junctional Melanocytes epithelioid mixed nevoid Poor circumscription common less common uncommon Distribution of Nests variable, irregular predominant, regular predominant, regular Distribution of Nests coalescent (confluent) bridging discrete Size of Nests variable uniform uniform Lentiginous (single cells) continuous discontinuous minimal Pagetoid high, extensive low, focal, minimal minimal Nuclear atypia uniform atypia, random atypia, minimal severe (>1.5x) mild-moderate Mitoses junctional/dermal about 1/3 of cases almost always absent absent Pyknosis/necrosis common uncommon none Fibroplasia diffuse concentric minimal Lymphocytes bandlike, lichenoid patchy, perivascular minimal Regression frequent, extensive rare, minimal absent Dermal Cells uniform atypia random atypia no atypia limited maturation maturation maturation mitoses no mitoses no mitoses 9
10 Diagnosis, Case 2 F26 Skin, right shin: Malignant melanoma, superficial spreading type, nonulcerated, with non-tumorigenic but mitogenic early vertical growth phase, Clark s level II, greatest Breslow thickness 0.51 mm, see description and comment. Comment. Differential diagnosis could include severe dermal and epidermal melanocytic dysplasia, however, dermal (or even epidermal) mitotic activity essentially rules out this diagnosis. The lesion is not a Spitz nevus/tumor because it is not comprised of large spindle and/or epithelioid cells. Dermal mitotic rate: 2 per square millimeter Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes essentially absent in the invasive component, with brisk noninfiltrating lymphocytes nearby Focal radial growth phase regression present No ulcer, no microscopic satellites, and no evidence of vascular, lymphatic, or neural invasion. Associated junctional dysplastic nevus of the epithelioid subtype Actinic elastosis in the adjacent dermis is present and mild. Lesion is completely excised with a closest border of approximately 1 mm.

Diagnosis. Skin, abdomen: Lentiginous junctional nevus, with mild dysplasia, see description and comment. OR Lentiginous junctional nevus Comment. Mild dysplasia is not an independent risk factor for melanoma however if this patient should have other clinically atypical nevi and/or a family or personal history of melanoma, or other melanoma risk factors, consideration of periodic surveillance may be appropriate. The lesion appears to be excised however even if this were not the case, reexcision might not be necessary if this biopsy was considered representative of the lesion and especially if the patient were to be followed. Since mild dysplasia is not an independent risk factor for melanoma, lesions of this type might be better given a descriptive name such as lentiginous junctional nevus. It is important to distinguish these lesions from nevoid lentigo maligna, which can also be characterized by slight degrees of cytologic atypia. This is an MPATH Category 1 lesion (no need for reexcision even if margins are positive). Superficial Atypical Nevi. Nevi are important mainly in relation to melanoma Precursors but risk for individual lesions is low (one in thousands) Risk markers important mainly in high risk situations (patients with multiple atypical nevi, family history, high CSD etc.) Simulants important in everyday clinical decision-making. 13
14 Grading of atypia in nevi: correlation with melanoma risk Arumi-Uria, McNutt, Finnerty, 2003 Grading of nevi with architectural disorder (dysplastic nevi) involves architectural and cytological features. Grades of atypia are related to patient history of melanoma: personal history of melanoma present in 5.7% of 2,504 patients with mild, 8.1% of 1657 with moderate, and 19.7% of 320 patients with severe atypia. Odds ratio as a measure of association between NAD and history of melanoma: 4.08 for severe versus mild, 2.81 for severe versus moderate and 1.45 for moderate versus mild dysplasia. Melanoma risk is greater in persons whose nevi have higher grade histological atypia Dysplasia Grading Criteria. Arumi-Uria et al, Mod Pathol, 2003 Mild Moderate Severe The clinically most atypical macular nevus was biopsied from 80 newly incident cases of melanoma and spouse controls. Histological dysplasia was assigned on a subjective 0-4 point scale by a 13-member panel of dermatopathologists (International Melanoma Pathology Group) Subjects with panel ratings > 1 had increased relative risk of melanoma: Odds ratio after adjustment for confounders = 3.99, 95% CI kappa statistic was 0.28 for the panel histological diagnoses, indicating poor interobserver reproducibility. Repeating study agreed but found size to be a good surrogate/correlate for atypia Evidence-based criteria for histologic dysplasia as a risk marker 14
15 Xiong, Rabkin, Piepkorn, Rabkin, Barnhill Piepkorn, et al, JAAD, Barnhill 2014 et al JAAD Given that measuring diameter tends to be more objective than grading dysplasia, these results could provide increased consistency when assessing risk of melanoma among patients with dysplastic nevi Mild Dysplasia Poorly reproducible diagnosis (vs. nevus) Not associated with melanoma risk Not a high risk precursor Not a strong simulant of melanoma UNCERTAINTY vs. Moderate dysplasia, No dysplasia Should be considered in the spectrum of banal nevi (junctional or compound nevus, e.g. lentiginous junctional nevus) Complete excision is not necessary even when margins are positive TERM MILD DYSPLASIA SHOULD NO LONGER BE USED (Lentiginous) Junctional Nevus < 4 mm diameter minimal cytologic atypia 15
16 Moderate Dysplasia Controversial Poorly reproducible diagnosis (vs mild, severe) UNCERTAINTY vs. Mild dysplasia, MIS Associated with melanoma risk Probably not a high risk precursor A weak simulant of melanoma (at least histologically) Complete excision is a consideration; observation is an option Severe Dysplasia Reasonably reproducible diagnosis UNCERTAINTY vs. MIS Associated with melanoma risk Probably a high risk precursor A strong simulant of melanoma (at least histologically) Should be managed by complete excision and consideration of follow-up, similar to MIS Proposal for Grading Dysplasia Junctional/compound nevus Includes former mild dysplasia and Clark s nevus Low Grade Dysplasia (LGD) Former moderate dysplasia High Grade Dysplasia (HGD) Former severe dysplasia 16
17 Case 4. Part Clinical Information. Please find enclosed slides on a 36-year-old male with multiple dysplastic nevi removed. Reason for Consultation. I have also enclosed a prior pathology report of other lesions removed. My diagnosis is compound melanocytic nevus with architectural disorder and moderate cytologic atypia. However, I am concerned that this lesion may be severely dysplastic. Would you recommend a reexcision procedure? Broad Symmetric Moderately cellular Poorly circumscribed 17

Skin, back (M36): Compound nevus with moderate dysplasia, completely excised, see description and comment. OR Compound dysplastic nevus, low grade Comment. Patient presents with multiple lesions, some of which are dysplastic nevi with moderate dysplasia. Benign lesions with little or no potential for recurrence and no potential for metastasis. Periodic follow-up may be appropriate for this patient, especially if there are other clinically atypical nevi and/or a family or personal history of melanoma. Although the lesion extends close to the specimen margin, there is no essential indication for reexcision, especially if the patient is to be followed. This is an MPATH DX Category 1 or perhaps Category 2 lesion, depending on clinical correlation and preference. 19
20 Case 5. Part 2-3. Clinical Information: A lesion from the back of a 54 year old man Reason for consultation: The clinician was concerned about a melanoma but I favor a dysplastic nevus.

Case 6, M59. Skin, right, mid back: Compound nevus with severe dermal and epidermal dysplasia and dermal fibrosis ( sclerosing atypical nevus, fibrosing dysplastic nevus"), extending close or to specimen base and margins, see description and final comment. OR - Dysplastic nevus, high grade, with a sclerosing dermal component Overall Comment. The presence of p16 staining rules out the possibility of 9P21 loss, which has been associated with aggressive behavior in a recent fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) study of atypical lesions, most of which were variants of Spitz tumors. Despite reassuring findings from special stains (and lack of mitoses), this is objectively an atypical lesion, and complete excision would be recommended, or perhaps alternatively, careful follow-up of the lesional site (MPATH DX Category 2 or 3). Especially if this patient should have other clinically atypical nevi and/or a family or personal history of melanoma, consideration of periodic surveillance of his skin would also be appropriate. 19 Lesions with no recurrence (all completely excised) 28
29 Papillomatous naevoid melanoma Papillomatous epithelial strands; dense proliferation; lack of maturation; atypia; mitoses In-transit or lymph node metastases occurred in 33% of patients Maturing naevoid melanoma Change from epithelioid, pleomorphic melanocytes in the junctional component to smaller but still atypical cells arranged in nests surrounded by dense collagen no disease progression was seen in those with maturing naevoid melanomas (including two with measured thicknesses of 3.0 and 3.5 mm, respectively) Significance of Nevi. Nevi are important mainly in relation to melanoma Precursors but risk for individual lesions is low Risk markers important mainly in high risk situations Simulants important in everyday clinical decision-making Case 7.

35 New Information! I received a call from the primary care physician of this patient asking me to review a biopsy from June of 2004, which I had signed out as a compound congenital melanocytic nevus. She told me that the lesion had developed repigmentation in the previous biopsy site I think it is almost certain that the subsequent biopsy is a pseudomelanoma based on the fact that there was no atypia in the original shave biopsy specimen, the interval between biopsy and repigmentation is only three months, and the re-pigmentation is in the previous biopsy site. The lack of this additional information at the time you received the biopsy was a handicap 35

37 New Report! superficial atypical melanocytic proliferation, c/w recurrent nevus phenomenon, extending to specimen margins I would make only one reservation, and that is that this lesion should be reexcised again with a margin of normal skin around the scar and any residual lesion 37
38 RECURRENT MELANOCYTIC NEVUS Pseudomelanoma (Ackerman) pigmented patch at site of prior shave biopsy of a benign compound or dermal nevus repigmentation occurs quickly (6 weeks) pigment does not extend beyond scar's borders Histology RECURRENT MELANOCYTIC NEVUS variably sized and shaped sometimes confluent nests single cells & nests above DEJ usually not beyond mid-spinous layer occasional lesional cells or nests in dermis slight cytologic atypia ( reactive? ), rare mitoses proliferation does not extend beyond scar original nevus should be reviewed 38
39 Lessons Atypia in recurrent nevi can be severe, yet is reactive. Mitoses can be present Dermal atypia can be present A superficial scar can mimic diffuse fibroplasia seen in many melanomas Keep a high index of suspicion Consider a full differential diagnosis Call for history if necessary 39
40 Significance of Nevi. Nevi are important mainly in relation to melanoma Precursors but risk for individual lesions is low Risk markers important mainly in high risk situations Simulants important in everyday clinical decision-making Conclusions Former mild dysplasia is a benign lentiginous nevus (the commonest type of nevus) Low grade dysplasia (former moderate dysplasia) can be observed clinically or by patients, looking for evidence of changing lesions High grade dysplasia is difficult to distinguish from melanoma in situ (UNCERTAINTY), may have competence for local persistence, recurrence and progression, and should be completely excised All of these are melanocytic neoplasms of low (or no) malignant potential which have little or no competence for metastasis Lake Wakatipu and Queenstown, New Zealand, from the Top of The Remarkables (Mountains of Mordor in the distance) 40

45 Case 2. Part Clinical Information. A large pigmented lesion of the back in a 74-year-old man. Reason for Consultation. I called this lesion a dysplastic nevus. The clinician then calls back to inform us that this is a 2.2 cm irregular pigmented lesion. Now looking at the deepers we think this might be a lentiginous melanoma. Description Shave biopsy of a broad lesion with a dermal component and a moderately cellular junctional component. Lesion is ill-defined (poorly circumscribed) at each periphery, with features overlapping with those of actinic lentigo. Subtle increase of melanocytes along the dermal-epidermal junction, with mild to moderate but relatively uniform cytologic atypia. Pagetoid scatter is minimal. Focally there are elongated rete ridges, overlapping with features of dysplastic nevus, however these changes are focal within the lesion rather than being symmetrically distributed at shoulders adjacent to a dermal component. Lentiginous nevus versus lentiginous melanoma Poorly circumscribed at each periphery 45

Case 2, M74 Skin, mid back: Superficial atypical melanocytic proliferation of uncertain significance, most consistent with melanoma in situ, lentiginous type (nevoid lentigo maligna), versus atypical lentiginous nevus of the elderly, see comment. (i.e. SAMPUS ) 47
48 Diagnosis. Case 2, M74 Overall Comment. There are overlapping features among atypical actinic lentigines, lentiginous junctional nevi with and without atypia, and lentiginous or nevoid lentigo maligna. Lesions in a high CSD environment must be interpreted with circumspection. Overdiagnosis should be avoided as even atypical lentiginous junctional nevi of the elderly seem to be biologically low grade (non-metastasizing but perhaps locally recurring potential). It is judicious to completely excise these lesions in order to be sure that they have been completely examined histologically and also to minimize any possibility of local persistence, recurrence or future progression. Nevoid Lentigo Maligna/Lentiginous Melanoma (Lentiginous Nevus) Kossard Aust J Dermatol Nevoid lentigo maligna King, Page, Googe & Mihm. Modern Pathology 2005 Lentiginous melanoma Ferrahi, Egbert & Swetter J Cutan Pathol 2005 Dysplastic nevus-like LMM Clinical diagnosis may vary e.g. lentigo maligna, atypical nevus, pigmented basal cell carcinoma, seborrheic keratosis and lentigo. Biopsies may mimic junctional nevus or dysplastic nevus, at least focally Lentiginous proliferation of melanocytes at the dermo-epidermal junction both as single cells and as small nests with areas of confluent growth, extending to the edges of the biopsy. Rete ridges maintained Pagetoid spread of melanocytes was not prominent in H&E - stained sections. Diagnosis of melanoma more easily recognized in the complete excision specimens; similar atypical melanocytic proliferation occurring over a broad area flanking the prior biopsy sites. Stains for MITF and Mart-1 highlight continuous basal melanocytic proliferation as well as foci of pagetoid scatter. Lentiginous Melanoma King, Page, Googe, Mihm. Mod Pathol 2005 Initial biopsies mimicked lentiginous nevus or dysplastic nevus Lentiginous proliferation of melanocytes at DEJ both as single cells and as small nests with areas of confluent growth, extending to the edges of the biopsy. Retiform epidermis was maintained and pagetoid spread of melanocytes was not prominent in H&E sections. Immunohistochemical stains for MITF and Mart-1 highlighted the extent of the basalar melanocytic proliferation as well as foci of pagetoid spread by melanocytes. Mart 1 UNCERTAINTY IS COMMON!

49 Case 3. Part Clinical Information. Left posterior shoulder, F81. Reason for Consultation. Favor a junctional Clark s nevus (see enclosed report). Broad lesion, poorly circumscribed, sparse cellularity, single and nested melanocytes. Mainly near the dermal-epidermal junction, focal pagetoid scatter Moderate chronic CSD. Some bridging, few nests that hang down in a droplet-like pattern. Cytologic atypia mild but relatively uniform. 49
50 Your Diagnosis? Melanoma? Nevus? Diagnosis Case 3, F81 Difficult to interpret. Cytologic atypia is mild to moderate rather than severe, with somewhat concerning architectural changes One is somewhat more concerned about a lesion in chronically sun-damaged skin of older subjects. Skin, left posterior shoulder, shave biopsy: Intraepidermal atypical melanocytic proliferation of uncertain significance (IAMPUS), most consistent with atypical lentiginous junctional nevus (of the elderly/csd skin), cannot r/o evolving or early established melanoma in situ. Complete excision recommended (MPATH-Dx 2 or 3) Case 4. Part Clinical Information. Left posterior shoulder, F84. Reason for Consultation. Favor a junctional Clark s (mildly dysplastic) melanocytic nevus (see enclosed report). There is mild melanocytic atypia, and that the peripheral and deep margins of the specimen were negative in the plane of sectioning. 50
51 Your Diagnosis? Melanoma? Nevus? Diagnosis Case 4, F81 Recurrence of Case 8 Shave biopsy of similar sun-damaged skin Somewhat more cellular proliferation of nevoid and nevoid to epithelioid melanocytes, focally exhibiting severe and uniform cytologic atypia. Some of these cells are confined to the epidermis above the scar, while others appear to extend some distance beyond the periphery of the scar. This latter feature raises some concern for evolving melanoma in situ extending beyond the scar. 51
52 Skin, left posterior shoulder, shave biopsy (recurrence): Intraepidermal atypical melanocytic proliferation of uncertain significance, extending to specimen margins, see description and comment. Comment: Cannot rule out an evolving more significant lesion, suggest complete excision Case 5. Part Clinical Information. Biopsy from posterior shoulder of an 85 year old female. Reason for Consultation. This specimen, in my opinion, has histologic features concerning for melanoma because of the architectural symmetry, ill-defined borders, contiguous proliferation of atypical solitary melanocytes, and some pagetoid spread of melanocytes within the epidermis. I do not see definitive features of a scar consistent with a prior biopsy site. 52
53 Broad Moderately cellular Moderate to severe CSD Poorly circumscribed Few bridging nests Diffuse fibroplasia Cells in dermis Moderately cellular Moderate to severe CSD Nests hanging down Diffuse fibroplasia (not a scar) Moderately cellular Moderate to severe CSD Nests hanging down Diffuse fibroplasia (not a scar) Nests in dermis No maturation 53
54 Melan-A Stain Moderately cellular Continuous basal proliferation Nests hanging down Low level pagetoid scatter Nests in dermis No maturation Your Diagnosis? Melanoma? Nevus? Our Diagnosis Malignant melanoma, lentigo maligna type ( lentiginous melanoma, Clark level II, Breslow thickness 0.85 mm 54
55 Updated History Cases 3-5. Clinical Information. Three separate biopsies from left posterior shoulder of an 85-year-old female over a period of three years. The biopsies were performed 4 years and 1 year ago, and recently. The original biopsy was called a junctional Clark s (mildly dysplastic) melanocytic nevus, might have been better interpreted as a lentiginous nevus of the elderly/sundamaged skin, with mild to moderate atypia. The peripheral and deep margins of the specimen were said to be negative in the plane of sectioning. The next biopsy at presumably the same anatomic location was signed out as an atypical melanocytic proliferation consistent with a persistent/recurrent Clark s (dysplastic) nevus, involving the peripheral edge of the biopsy. It was mentioned that the differential diagnosis included early melanoma in situ evolving within a pre-existing nevus, and a reexcision was recommended. The most recent specimen was concerning for melanoma because of the architectural symmetry, ill-defined borders, contiguous proliferation of atypical solitary melanocytes, and some pagetoid spread of melanocytes within the epidermis. Additional procedure warranted to ensure that the lesion has been completely removed.` Broad lesion, poorly circumscribed, sparse cellularity, single and nested melanocytes. Mainly near the dermal-epidermal junction, focal pagetoid scatter Moderate chronic CSD. Cytologic atypia mild but relatively uniform. POTENTIAL PRECURSOR (low risk) VS ACTUAL PRECURSOR (hindsight bias) Manage by excision or follow-up Case 5 Second recurrence of a lesion that originally had only mild atypia (but moderate to severe architectural disorder) Diagnosis of dysplastic nevus should be made with caution in elderly/csd skin Complete excision is appropriate for atypical lentiginous nevus of elderly/sundamaged skin. 55
56 Last Case. Part Clinical Information. Lesion of right shoulder, r/o melanoma versus nevus in a 76 y.o. man Reason for Consultation. Is this anything other than a moderately atypical neurotized compound nevus? A relatively broad lesion with irregular thickening and thinning of rete ridges and a sparsely cellular infiltrate in the dermis. Generally sparsely cellular Moderate to severe CSD Poorly circumscribed 56
57 Pigmented melanophages in the dermis Increased number of melanocytes in the epidermis, many of them suprabasal Cells in the papillary dermis are delicate spindle cells and there is a sprinkling of lymphocytes Cells in the papillary dermis are delicate spindle cells and there is a sprinkling of lymphocytes 57
58 S100 stain highlights the increased cellularity in the epidermis and also labels the spindle cells in the papillary dermis Melan-A stain highlights the junctional component but the dermal spindle cells are negative. Case 6 Skin, right superior shoulder: Malignant melanoma, lentigo maligna type, nonulcerated, with pure desmoplastic vertical growth phase, Clark level IV, Breslow thickness not < 0.64 mm, extending close to the specimen base, see Comment 3. Comment Changes extend close to the base and to a peripheral margin of the specimen. It is unusual to see a small desmoplastic melanoma at this early stage of its evolution. S Should be excised locally in order to prevent any possibility of persistence, recurrence, or future progression of it. Based on its microstaging attributes, the prognosis for this lesion should be excellent. The prognosis for pure desmoplastic melanoma is if anything better than that for melanomas of similar thickness. This lesion could be managed with a relatively generous wide local excision MPATH DX Category 4 (or 5). 58
59 Take Home Messages Early/evolving LMM IS can be subtle Changes at periphery and at margins can be subtle Confluence or continuous proliferation of uniformly atypical cells Nests in epidermis overlying elastotic dermis (LeBoit) Focal areas in LMM IS can mimic dysplastic nevus Diagnosis of dysplastic nevus in sun-damaged skin of elderly is fraught with hazard Diagnosis is often based more on architectural disorder(including size) than on severe cytologic atypia. High CSD Lesions Cautious approach beware of nests of melanocytes in epidermis above solar elastosis Caution in diagnosis of dysplastic nevus in CSD skin Do not overcall actinic atypia in re-excision specimens (more of a risk marker than a precursor) Beware of subtle spindle cells in dermal component of CSD melanomas 59
