MELANOMA
![Page 11: 1. 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 Pigmented Skin Lesions MELANOMA.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1cff/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
MELANOMA
Malignant melanoma is a skin cancer due to uncontrolled growth of pigment cells -melanocytes.
![Page 12: 1. 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 Pigmented Skin Lesions MELANOMA.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1cff/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Melanocytes
• Normal melanocytes occur in the basal layer of the epidermis
• They produce melanin• Melanin (a protein) protects the skin by absorbing
ultraviolet (UV) radiation • Melanocytes are found in equal numbers in black and in
white skin• Melanocytes in black skin produce much more melanin• Non-cancerous growth of melanocytes results in moles
(benign melanocytic naevi) and freckles• Cancerous growth of melanocytes results in melanoma
![Page 13: 1. 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 Pigmented Skin Lesions MELANOMA.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1cff/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Risk Factors for Melanoma
• Sun exposure, particularly during childhood • Fair skin that burns easily • Blistering sunburn, especially when young • Previous melanoma • Previous non-melanoma skin cancer (BCC,
SCC) • Family history of melanoma• Large numbers of moles (esp if > 100) • Abnormal moles (atypical or dysplastic naevi)
![Page 14: 1. 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 Pigmented Skin Lesions MELANOMA.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1cff/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Epidemiology of Melanoma
• 3% of all cancers and 10% of skin cancers.• Incidence 1:10,000 per annum • Incidence is increasing in developed countries • Incidence rises with age, rare in children,
commonest in over 75s • 3rd commonest cancer in young people. • In UK 2002 - 1,640 deaths from malignant melanoma
Over 65% of deaths from malignant melanoma were in the over 65s.
• It is commoner in women than in men but men have a worse prognosis.
![Page 15: 1. 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 Pigmented Skin Lesions MELANOMA.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1cff/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Melanoma in situ
• Superficial forms of melanoma spread out within the epidermis (horizontal growth).
• If all the melanoma cells are confined to the epidermis, it is melanoma in situ.
• Lentigo maligna is a special case of melanoma in situ that occurs around hair follicles on the sun damaged skin of the face or neck.
• Melanoma in situ is cured by excision
![Page 16: 1. 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 Pigmented Skin Lesions MELANOMA.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1cff/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Invasive Melanoma
• When the cancerous cells have grown through the basement membrane into the deeper layer of the skin (the dermis), it is known as invasive melanoma (vertical growth)
• Nodular melanoma appears to be invasive from the beginning, and has little or no relationship to sun exposure.
• Metastatic disease increases in likelihood with increasing depth of the melanoma.
• 15% of people with invasive melanoma will die from it.
![Page 17: 1. 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 Pigmented Skin Lesions MELANOMA.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1cff/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Where do melanomas occur?• Melanoma can arise from otherwise normal appearing skin (50%) • Or from within a mole or freckle, which starts to grow larger and
change in appearance. Precursor lesions include: – Congenital melanocytic naevus (brown birthmark) – Atypical or dysplastic naevus (funny-looking mole) – Benign melanocytic naevus (normal mole)
• Melanomas occur anywhere on the skin, not only in sun-exposed areas. Commonest sites: men - back (40%), women - leg (40%).
• Melanomas can also occur on mucous membranes (lips, genitals). • May also occurs in other parts of the body such as the eye, brain,
mouth or vagina.
![Page 18: 1. 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 Pigmented Skin Lesions MELANOMA.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1cff/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Moles (Melanocytic Naevi)
• Very common
• May be flat or protruding
• Vary in colour from pink to black
• Brown or black coloured moles are also called ‘pigmented naevi’.
• Mostly round or oval in shape
• Range in size from 2mm to several cm
![Page 19: 1. 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 Pigmented Skin Lesions MELANOMA.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1cff/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Moles
• Most frequently moles arise during childhood or early adult life (acquired melanocytic naevi).
• Exposure to sunlight increases the number of moles.
• Teenagers and young adults tend to have the greatest number of moles.
![Page 20: 1. 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 Pigmented Skin Lesions MELANOMA.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1cff/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Classification
• Junctional naeviGroups or nests of naevus cells at the junction of the epidermis and dermis. Tend to be flat colourful moles.
• Dermal/Intradermal naeviNests of naevus cells in the dermis. These moles are thickened and often protrude from the skin surface (papillomatous naevi).
• Compound naeviNests of naevus cells at the epidermal-dermal junction as well as within the dermis. These moles have a central raised area surrounded by flat pigmentation.
![Page 21: 1. 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 Pigmented Skin Lesions MELANOMA.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1cff/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Junctional Naevus
![Page 22: 1. 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 Pigmented Skin Lesions MELANOMA.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1cff/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Congenital Melanocytic Naevus
• Brown or black naevi • Present at birth or develop in the first year or so
of life • Moles that look like birthmarks but were not
present at birth may be called ‘congenital naevus-like’ naevi or ‘congenital-type’ naevi.
• About one baby in 100 has a small or medium sized congenital naevus, so they are quite common.
• Very large, giant or bathing trunk naevi are very rare.
![Page 23: 1. 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 Pigmented Skin Lesions MELANOMA.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1cff/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Types of congenital melanocytic naevus
• Typically multi-shaded, oval, fairly uniform pigmented patches• Most grow with the child but become proportionally smaller and less
obvious with time. • May darken, become bumpy or hairy especially at puberty. • Rarely fade away or disappear. • Congenital melanocytic naevi in adults are classed as ‘small’ (<
1.5cm di), ‘medium’ (>1.5 <10cm) or ‘large’ (>10cm) • ‘Giant’ congenital naevi are greater than 20cm in diameter. Often
found on the buttocks (‘bathing trunk’ naevi) • Café-au-lait macule - a flat tan mark, usually oval (inherited).
Multiple café-au-lait macules may be a sign of neurofibromatosis. • Speckled lentiginous naevus (naevus spilus) has dark spots
scattered on a flat tan background.
![Page 24: 1. 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 Pigmented Skin Lesions MELANOMA.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1cff/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Risk of Melanoma
• The risk of melanoma in a small or medium-sized congenital melanocytic naevus is very small (< 1%)
• Melanoma never arises from café-au-lait macules
• Melanoma is more likely in the giant naevi (~ 5% over a lifetime) especially in those that lie across the spine

Atypical Naevi
• Melanocytic naevi with unusual features eg indistinct edge, larger size.
• May resemble Malignant Melanomoa but are benign• Sometimes called dysplastic naevi, active junctional
naevi, B-K moles and Clark's naevi. • May be familial or sporadic. • The inherited form is usually part of a syndrome -
Familial Atypical Mole and Melanoma (FAMM) syndrome (formerly dysplastic naevus syndrome). – One or more first-degree or second-degree relative with
malignant melanoma – A large number of naevi (often more than 50) some of which are
atypical naevi – Naevi that show certain histological features.
![Page 30: 1. 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 Pigmented Skin Lesions MELANOMA.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1cff/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Atypical Naevi
Fair-skinned individuals with light coloured hair and freckles are most at risk of getting atypical naevi, especially if they have been frequently exposed to the sun or have a family history of atypical naevi.
Atypical naevi may develop at any time but most develop during the first 15 years of life.
![Page 31: 1. 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 Pigmented Skin Lesions MELANOMA.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1cff/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Atypical Naevi
• People with one to four atypical naevi have a slightly higher risk than the general population of developing malignant melanoma
• People with FAMM syndrome are significantly more at risk of developing melanoma.
• Atypical naevi are harmless (benign) and do not need to be removed. However, it is not always easy to tell whether a lesion is an atypical naevus or a melanoma, so if in doubt, it should be removed by excision biopsy.

Types of Melanoma
• Flat patches (horizontal slow growth) – Superficial spreading melanoma (SSM) – Lentigo maligna melanoma (sun damaged skin of face, scalp
and neck) – Acral lentiginous melanoma (on soles of feet, palms of hands or
under the nails – the subungual melanoma)
• Nodules (vertical rapid growth)– Nodular melanoma – Mucosal melanoma (arising on lips, eyelids, vulva, penis, anus) – Desmoplastic melanoma (fibrous tumour with a tendency to
grow down nerves)
• Combinations occur e.g. nodular melanoma arising within a superficial spreading melanoma.

Lentigo Maligna
• Sun-exposed areas of the face and neck• Elderly• Slow growing • Often quite large (>20mm). • Pre-cancerous • Conversion to a lentigo maligna melanoma
occurs in ~ 5% of patients • Identifying lesions that require referral is not
easy – but see ABCDE

Diagnosis
• Excision biopsy with a 2 to 3-mm margin• Breslow depth - thickness of the
melanoma in mm • Clark's level - describe which layer of the
skin has been breached. Clark’s level 1 refers to melanoma in situ. Invasive melanoma may reach Clark's level 2 (thin) to 5 (reaching the subcutaneous fat layer).
• Systematic search for metastasis
![Page 51: 1. 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 Pigmented Skin Lesions MELANOMA.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af1cff/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Prognosis
Death is unlikely if a melanoma has a Breslow thickness of less than 1mm
50% dead within 5 years if >4mm
