DERMPATH DIAGNOSTICS 2010 BOARD REVIEW Spongiotic Dermatitis, Nutritional Disorders & Miscellaneous Deadly Epidermal Neoplasms Michael B. Morgan, M.D. Professor Pathology, USFCOM
Case #1 An 89 y/o ♂ Presents with a Rapidly Growing Erythematous Papule
And the Diagnosis is… MERKEL CELL CARCINOMA
MERKEL CELL CARCINOMA • Prevalence = 0.2 / 100,000, ♂= ♀, 1:1500 BCCS • Average age of presentation = 68 yrs. • Association = UV exposure, immunosuppression, IGF-1 Polyoma Virus (continues)
MERKEL CELL CARCINOMA • Histogenesis - ?, Merkel Cell • Clinical • H + N ~ 60%, Exts ~ 30%, Uncommon trunk & Genitalia • Papule usually Erythematous and rapid growing
Papilloma Viruses BK-Cystitis JC-PML KI-Respiratory PAPOVA Polyoma Viruses WU-Respiratory MK- Merkel Cell ? Vacuolating Agents (Koilocytes)
MERKEL CELL CARCINOMA • Histology – Diffuse, trabecular, nested • Cells – Small (~7 mm) closely apposed, molded nuclei, scant cytoplasm, speckled nuclear chromatin • Look for crush artifact, ↑mitotic / apopotic rate • Immunostaining - CK-20 dot-like, synaptophysin (+), TTF (-)
Prognosis – • Ulceration, mitosis, depth of invasion • Treatment • WLE, XRT (palliative), CTX Dubious • Differential diagnosis • BCC, Lymphoma
Case #2 70 y/o ♀ with Scaly Nipple
And the Diagnosis is… PAGET’S DISEASE
Paget’s Disease • Synonyms: Extramammary Paget’s disease, mammary Paget’s disease • Etiology: Ductular extension of carcinoma from breast genitourinary, gastrointestinal, or apocrine glands • Associations: Underlying adenocarcinoma of breast (mammary) or genitourinary or gastrointestinal carcinoma (extramammary) or primary appendagael adenocarcinoma • Clinical: Scaly, erythematous patch on nipple (mammary) or anogenital region (extramammary Paget’s)
Paget’s Disease • Histology: Large, atypical cells at all levels of epidermis • IHC repertoire: Cytokeratins 7, CEA, EMA • Staging: Essential to workup for underlying adenocarcinoma • Prognosis: Excellent if no underlying carcinoma; poor if internal carcinoma present • Adverse variables: Dermal invasion by neoplastic cells, association with underlying malignancy • Treatment: Surgery, (topical chemotherapy, radiation)
Case #3 29 Year Old Female Textile Worker with Itchy Vesicles
And the Diagnosis is… Eczematous Dermatitis (Purpuric) Associated with Textile Dyes
Definition/Pathogenesis Local Type IV Hypersensitivity reaction to textile dyes
Special Variants of Allergic Contact Dermatitis Pustular - Cement
Differential Diagnosis Dermal contact – neomycin, nickel, zinc
