Unusual Morphological Presentation of Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma: A Rare Case Report.

Cutaneous malignant melanoma is a rapidly progressing skin tumor accounting for most deaths from skin malignancies. Four morphological variants (nodular, superficial spreading, lentigo maligna, and acral lentiginous) are described in the literature. Here we are reporting malignant melanoma in a 35-year-old male who presented with depigmented plaques with few hyperpigmented areas and extensive overlying scaling.

Primary round cell sarcomas of the urinary bladder with EWSR1 rearrangement: a multi-institutional study of thirteen cases with a review of the literature.

Primary Ewing sarcoma (ES) of the urinary bladder is a rare and aggressive small blue round cell malignant neoplasm associated primarily with translocation involving EWSR1 and FLI1 genes located in the 22nd and 11th chromosomes, respectively. To date, 18 cases have been published in the literature as single-case reports, based chiefly on CD99 positivity (17 patients). Molecular confirmation by fluorescence in situ hybridization was performed in 9 patients, and FLI1 immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis was not performed in any of these published cases.

Penile Horn: A Rare Presentation of Pseudoepitheliomatous, Keratotic, and Micaceous Balanitis Successfully Treated with Oral Acitretin.

Glans penis is an unusual site for horn. Only few cases are reported worldwide in English literature. Pseudoepitheliomatous, keratotic, and micaceous balanitis (PKMB) is a pyodermatitis with pseudoepitheliomatous response to chronic inflammation or infection.

Cutaneous Botryomycosis in Immunocompetent Patients: A Case Series.

Botryomycosis is a rare chronic suppurative bacterial infection of skin and viscera mostly reported in immunocompromised adults. Most of published literature on botryomycosis are case reports. Though morphological presentation of cutaneous botryomycosis has been described as nodules, sinus, abscesses, and ulcers discharging seropurulent exudates, sequential evolution of lesions is not clear.

Differential expression of cyclin E, p63, and Ki-67 in gestational trophoblastic disease and its role in diagnosis and management: A prospective case-control study.

Background: Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) constitutes a spectrum of tumors and tumor-like conditions, characterized by proliferation of pregnancy-associated trophoblastic tissue of progressive malignant potential. It is very difficult to differentiate these complex groups of lesions basing on histomorphology alone. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) with cyclin E, P63, and Ki-67 has a definite role in the identification of different trophoblasts and entities of GTD and also in the determination of biological behavior.
