Abstract
Abstract: In 4%-11% of cases, melanoma recurrences present as in-transit (IT) metastases, and their prognosis is quite poor. Consequently, an early diagnosis and treatment of IT metastasis assume paramount significance. Despite this, the diagnosis of cutaneous IT metastases persistently presents a formidable challenge due to the diversity in clinical and dermoscopic characteristics. We provide a novel melanoma IT metastases pattern with interesting dermoscopic features and magnetic resonance imaging via presenting an unusual case characterized by diffuse subcutaneous intravascular lesions to supplement the understanding of cutaneous melanoma IT metastases.
摘要:在4%-11%的病例中,黑色素瘤复发表现为转移(IT),其预后相当差。因此,早期诊断和治疗 IT 转移至关重要。尽管如此,由于临床和皮肤镜特征的多样性,皮肤 IT 转移瘤的诊断仍然是一项艰巨的挑战。我们通过介绍一例以弥漫性皮下血管内病变为特征的不寻常病例,提供了一种具有有趣的皮肤镜特征和磁共振成像的新型黑色素瘤 IT 转移模式,以补充对皮肤黑色素瘤 IT 转移的认识。
