BENIGN SQUAMOUS KERATOSIS
neoplasma 6

SEBORRHEIC KERATOSIS
neoplasma 8
A seborrheic keratosis is one of the most
common growths that occur on the skin. In
general terms these are often referred to as
"barnacles of time or age spots" I prefer to call
them wisdom spots.
Seborrheic keratoses are most frequently seen in
adults over thirty, and they can occur almost
anywhere on the skin. Looking a lot like waxy
lumps they are typically brown or black in color,
and appear like they have been stuck on the
skin. When they are very flat they can look like
large liver spots/lentigo
Seborrheic keratosis
neoplasma 9
Seborrheic keratosis
Common; usually age 40+ years
Benign, although may coexist with malignancy

epidermodysplasia verruciformis and bowenoid
changes
Dermatosis papulosa nigra: in blacks
Leser-Trelat sign: sudden appearance or
increase in number and size of seborrheic
keratoses, associated with internal malignancy
neoplasma 10
Treatment: superficial curettage,
freezing
Gross: exophytic, sharply demarcated,
pigmented lesions that protrude above
surface of skin, appear to be stuck to skin,
single or multiple, soft, tan-black

ACTINIC KERATOSIS
neoplasma 15
Actinic keratosis
Also called solar keratosis, senile keratosis
Buildup of excessive keratin due to chronic
exposure to sunlight
On sun-exposed sites (face, arms, dorsum
of hands)
Called actinic cheilitis in lips
May become invasive with only a single
layer of atypical keratinocytes
neoplasma 16
Solar or Actinic Keratosis is
characterized by small patches
of flesh-colored, pink, or slightly
darker areas of skin. These
occur on sun-exposed areas of
the body (face, scalp, back of
hands, neck, and chest) and
have a sandpaper feel.
Actinic keratosis

Actinic keratosis
(a precancerous condition):
As a result of permanent
DNA damage,
the epidermal epithelium
exhibits nuclear
polymorphism ( B1) and
nuclear polychromasia
accompanied by excessive
formation of keratinized
corneal scales
(parakeratosis; B2).
However, these changes do
not penetrate the
basement membrane ( B3).

Incidence increasing worldwide - 48,000 cases
and 9,200 deaths in US in 2000
Usually due to sun (UV light) exposure
Warning signs: change in color of pigmented
lesion, enlargement of existing mole, itching or
pain in preexisting mole, development of new
pigmented lesion in adult life, irregular borders
in pigmented lesion, variegation of color in
pigmented lesion
Head and neck, lower extremities (particularly in
women); rarely subungual (melanotic
whitlow), palm, sole. Also oral and anogenital
mucosa, esophagus, meninges, eye
neoplasma 43
Populations at higher risk: whites with fair skin, red
hair, tendency to burn or freckle from sun exposure,
large number of melanocytic nevi, xeroderma
pigmentosum, familial dysplastic nevi, melanosis, vitiligo,
possibly neurofibromatosis type I
Up to 10% may be familial due to CMM1 gene at 1p36
Blacks have low risk, their common melanoma sites are
palms, soles, nail beds or mucous membranes
Usually after puberty, occasionally children - all have
same morphology
5% are multiple, although prognosis is related to type
and stage of largest lesion, not number of lesions; must
distinguish multiple lesions from hot nevi / nevus
activation
Achilles tendon tumors are often spindled
Tend to grow laterally and deep; common metastases to
regional lymph nodes, also liver, lungs, GI tract, bone,
CNS, heart (50% at autopsy), skin (satellite tumors
within 2 cm of primary tumor), other sites
Overall 5 year survival is 60%
neoplasma 44
Poor prognostic factors:
increased Breslow (vertical) thickness in primary
tumor,
high stage (TNM),
males (do worse than females),
high mitotic rate,
ulceration,
microscopic satellites (tumor nests 50 microns or
larger and separated from main tumor mass),
deeper level of invasion for T1 tumors,
higher % tumor area/volume in sentinel node,
increased density of dendritic leukocytes in nodal
paracortex (associated with risk of tumor in non-
sentinel nodes, recurrence and death, Mod Path 2004;17:747)

definite dermal invasion
Good prognostic factors:
low stage,
no/superficial dermal invasion, small vertical tumor thickness (<
4 mm),
well differentiated,
short duration,
location other than scalp, ears, lips, nose, eyelids or soft tissue
(which readily invade subcutaneous tissue)
Treatment: surgical excision with adequate margins;
also currettage, electrodesiccation, cryotherapy,
radiation therapy
SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA

Slow and indolent, untreated cases may invade subcutis,
skeletal muscle and bone; facial tumors may invade
skull, nares, orbit or temporal bone; only 100 metastatic
cases described, often associated with basal cell nevus
syndrome or basosquamous histology, on sunlight-
protected skin

Question :
What is the diagnosis of this case ?
Answer:
Mastocytosis
neoplasma 96
Mastocytosis (MC) is a rare,
heterogeneous disorder,
characterized by a marked increase in mast cells
in the skin and occasionally in the bone marrow,
liver, spleen, gastrointestinal tract, and other
various organ systems.
Mast cells are produced in the bone marrow and
contain mediators for inflammatory and
allergenic responses. When these cells are
triggered, a degranulation event occurs in which
mediators such as histamine, prostaglandins,
leukotrienes, heparin, tryptase, and other
chemicals are released from the mast cell and
into the systemic circulation
Mastocytosis
neoplasma 97
cutaneous mastocytosis is generally
benign in children
urticaria pigmentosa (UP) is the most
common clinical form though descriptions
of this entity should be expanded to
include nodular forms.
In childhood, in the absence of clinical
symptoms suggesting systemic
involvement, detailed laboratory
investigations are not recommended.
