Spontaneous regression of multiple melanocytic nevi after melanoma: report of 3 cases.
2014
Complete spontaneous regression of multiple melanocytic nevi after melanoma is an extremely rare phenomenon. We report 3 cases of patients with a history of melanoma that showed regression of almost all melanocytic nevi over time. One of the patients had 2 simultaneous primary cutaneous melanomas without metastasis. In the other 2 patients, regression of the melanocytic nevi was seen after the development of metastasis in lymph nodes. These patients had spontaneously developed an efficient immune response against melanocytes, and they would represent paradigmatic examples of the spontaneous immune responses in melanoma patients. Better understanding of the mechanisms involved in the complet…
Primary multifocal anaplastic large cell lymphoma with eyelid involvement: a case report
2019
ABSTRACT Ocular adnexal involvement in CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorders is rare. We report the case of a 73-year-old woman with a relapsing primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma on her eyelid. A systemic extension study excluded extracutaneous involvement. Systemic chemotherapy resulted in an optimal response, with complete regression of the cutaneous lesions. There has been no recurrence during the 2 years of follow-up. RESUMO O acometimento ocular adicional nos distúrbios linfoproliferativos CD30+ é raro. Relatamos o caso de uma mulher de 73 anos com linfoma de grandes células anaplásicas primárias recidivantes em sua pálpebra. A avaliação sistêmica excluiu envolvimento extr…
Descriptive Dermoscopic Study of Depigmentation in Melanocytic Nevi Without a Visible Halo
2011
Background and objectives: There are few cases described in the literature in which depigmentation of melanocytic nevi occurs without the appearance of halos. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between clinical and dermoscopic findings and to assess the usefulness of dermoscopy to identify possible markers of complete regression in melanocytic lesions. Materials and methods: A prospective, observational, descriptive study of 77 melanocytic lesions in 52 patients was undertaken over a 5-year period. Melanocytic lesions from patients who underwent periodic follow-up in the digital dermoscopy unit were analyzed if they had exhibited partial or total, permanent depigmentation …
