Case report. A rare case of giant basal cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma [PDF]
The presence of two several skin lesions in the same patient is a rare occurrence in dermatological findings. The associations of malignant melanoma (MM) and giant basal cell carcinoma (BCC) within the same patient have only been described in few cases

In vitro evidence for senescent multinucleated melanocytes as a source for tumor-initiating cells [PDF]
Oncogenic signaling in melanocytes results in oncogene-induced senescence (OIS), a stable cell-cycle arrest frequently characterized by a bi- or multinuclear phenotype that is considered as a barrier to cancer progression.

Melanoma: Pathogenesis and Targeted Therapy
The treatment landscape for advanced melanoma has evolved significantly. BRAF–MEK inhibitor combinations are standard for BRAF‐mutant melanoma, whereas targeting NRAS mutations is more challenging, with MEK inhibitors like tunlametinib emerging as an option.

Folliculotropism in head and neck lentigo maligna and lentigo maligna melanoma
SummaryBackgroundLentigo maligna (LM) and lentigo maligna‐melanoma (LMM) are histotypes of melanoma arising in skin with cumulative solar radiation damage. The extension of atypical melanocytes to the hair follicle (folliculotropism) is a histopathological feature of LM/LMM. Its role has not been totally clarified, but it may be correlated to treatment

Melanoma Diagnosis in the Mihm Era—And Beyond
ABSTRACT During the illustrious career of Martin C. Mihm Jr., MD, the diagnosis of melanoma underwent significant changes, to which he made many contributions. In early descriptions, melanomas were fungating tumor masses that were obviously malignant, and highly lethal. In seminal work by Dr. Mihm and his mentor, Wallace H.

'This isn't what mine looked like': a qualitative study of symptom appraisal and help seeking in people recently diagnosed with melanoma. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To explore symptom appraisal and help-seeking decisions among patients recently diagnosed with melanomas, and to compare experiences of people with 'thinner' (2 mm) melanomas, as thickness at diagnosis is an important prognostic feature ...
