In most patients, MF runs an indolent clinical course for years to decades, but in approximately 25% of patients, progression to advanced-stage MF is observed [&lt;span&gt;2, 3&lt;/span&gt;]. The prognosis of MF depends on the type and extent of skin lesions and the presence of extracutaneous disease. Early-stage MF is characterized by the presence of patches and/or plaques covering less than 10% (stage IA) or 10% or more of the body surface area (stage IB). Several studies reported that patients presenting with both patches and plaques have a higher risk of progression to advanced-stage MF and a worse survival than patients presenting with only patches [&lt;span&gt;3-5&lt;/span&gt;]. Therefore, the distinction between patches and plaques is clinically relevant, but it can be difficult due to a lack of standardized and reproducible criteria [&lt;span&gt;6&lt;/span&gt;]. In the current classification system, differentiation between patches and plaques is based exclusively on clinical examination. Patches are defined as skin lesions without significant elevation or induration, while plaques are defined as skin lesions with elevation or induration [&lt;span&gt;7&lt;/span&gt;]. However, this definition is subjective and prone to considerable inter-observer variability [&lt;span&gt;6&lt;/span&gt;]. Previous studies on folliculotropic MF (FMF) found that a clinicopathologic approach, combining clinical and histopathological criteria, can facilitate the distinction between early and advanced plaque-stage disease [&lt;span&gt;8, 9&lt;/span&gt;]. At recent meetings, the question was raised whether histopathologic criteria, in particular the extent and depth of the infiltrates, could also facilitate the distinction between patches and plaques in classical MF. The infiltrates in plaques in classical MF are indeed generally denser and deeper than in patches [&lt;span&gt;6, 10&lt;/span&gt;]. However, studies investigating whether these differences may contribute to a more reliable distinction between patches and plaques have not been published thus far. In the present study, we investigated the extent and depth of the infiltrate in patches and plaques in classic MF to find out if these histopathological criteria can serve as an adjunct to differentiate between these two types of lesions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Using a database of scanned HE stained sections obtained from pretreatment biopsies of patients with early-stage classical MF, 100 cases with variable extent and depth of the infiltrates were selected without knowledge of the clinical data. Corresponding clinical records and clinical images of the biopsied lesions were evaluated and, blinded to the histopathologic characteristics, scored as either patch or plaque by three individual dermatologists using ISCL/EORTC criteria described previously [&lt;span&gt;7&lt;/span&gt;].

Mihm, Jr, we highlight his many contributions over more than 50 years to the catalog of specific melanocytic tumor terminology. Dr. Mihm was an active participant in the International Melanoma Pathology Study Group (IMPSG). Discussions led to proposed recommendations for changes in the terminology of melanocytic tumors and their standardized diagnostic reporting. Histopathological reports of melanocytic tumors provide critical information that guides patient counseling and therapy. Importantly the pathology report must relay whether the melanocytic tumor is benign, intermediate, or malignant, and when appropriate, indicate diagnostic and/or prognostic uncertainty. Recent shifts in diagnostic terminology include the recommended use of the term \"melanocytoma\" to describe a morphologically and genetically defined subset of intermediate risk melanocytic tumors with higher (although still very low) risk of progression compared with benign nevi. Melanocytomas are distinguished from melanocytic tumors of uncertain malignant potential (MELTUMP) which are histopathologically indeterminate or uncertain tumors. In the setting of a broad lexicon for the reporting of melanocytic tumors, an assessment tool has been developed to map existing diverse terminologies into distinct hierarchical classes. The Melanocytic Pathology Assessment Tool and Hierarchy for Diagnosis (MPATH-Dx) V2.0 provides a four-tiered classification scheme that is tiered by risk of tumor progression and recommended treatment. The purpose of this review is to report these shifts in diagnostic terminology, discussed and reviewed at the annual workshop of the IMPSG, in Edinburg, Scotland, in November 2022. This discussion included the use of the term melanocytoma, and the use of the MPATH-Dx V2.0 classification and terminology for melanocytic tumors.

Rarely, MM may lose all melanocytic markers and adopt the morphologic and immunophenotypic characteristics of a different neoplasm in a process known as trans-differentiation (TMM). Distinguishing TMM from primary cutaneous neoplasms may be challenging and is often dependent on the identification of an adjacent conventional melanoma. In particularly difficult cases, molecular analysis may be helpful; TMMs are known to exhibit highly similar mutational landscapes to conventional melanomas (e.g., mutations in <i>NF1</i>, <i>NRAS</i>; variable <i>BRAF</i> V600E). Herein, we present an exceedingly rare case of likely TMM with rhabdomyosarcomatous differentiation in which high tumor mutational burden (TMB) was an important clue to the diagnosis. An 83-year-old woman presented with an 8.2 cm fungating mass on the upper arm. Biopsy revealed a sheet-like proliferation of mitotically active pleomorphic cells which were positive for myogenin/MyoD1 and negative for S100/SOX10. A diagnosis of epithelioid rhabdomyosarcoma was rendered. Subsequent axillary lymph node metastasis prompted whole exome sequencing, which revealed a molecular signature more indicative of MM, including: high TMB (19 mutations/Mb); ultraviolet mutational signature (i.e., preponderance of C&gt;T base changes); <i>TERT</i> promoter mutation; and <i>ARID2</i> mutation. After discussion at the interdisciplinary tumor board, a diagnosis of TMM was considered most likely, and the patient was initiated on pembrolizumab. Morphologic features more typical of MM than cutaneous sarcomas, such as tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, junctional epidermal tumor nests, and satellitosis, may provide further clues to the accurate diagnosis of TMM, which has important prognostic and therapeutic implications for the patient.</p>","PeriodicalId":15407,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cutaneous Pathology","volume":"52 6","pages":"414-417"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cup.14806","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143639598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
