Abstract
Malignant blue melanomas (MBMs) arise from blue nevi and all related intradermal melanocytic proliferations. They harbor specific, mutually exclusive mutations in the G-coupled protein pathway, mainly involving GNAQ or GNA11. Other rare genetic drivers include CYSLTR2 or PCLB4 mutations. PKC and GRM1-gene fusions have been recently added to this list. MBMs have a predilection for the scalp area, presenting as rapidly growing nodules within a pre-existing lesion. Histopathologically, these tumors are located in the dermis and subcutaneous fat and consist of large nodules or expanding dense sheets. Tumor necrosis is commonly seen. Large spindle-shaped and epithelioid melanocytes with high-grade cytological atypia and frequent mitotic figures are at higher magnification. A benign blue nevus or intermediate-grade blue melanocytoma is frequently found on the side of the central mass. Loss of nuclear BAP1 immunoreactivity is a poor prognostic factor.
