Photobleaching effects onin vivoskin autofluorescence lifetime
2015
The autofluorescence lifetime of healthy human skin was measured using excitation provided by a picosecond diode laser operating at a wavelength of 405 nm and with fluorescence emission collected at 475 and 560 nm. In addition, spectral and temporal responses of healthy human skin and intradermal nevus in the spectral range 460 to 610 nm were studied before and after photobleaching. A decrease in the autofluorescences lifetimes changes was observed after photobleaching of human skin. A three-exponential model was used to fit the signals, and under this model, the most significant photoinduced changes were observed for the slowest lifetime component in healthy skin at the spectral range 520 …
Psammomatous malignant melanoma arising in an intradermal naevus
2001
Psammomatous malignant melanoma arising in an intradermal naevus Aims: A wide variety of differentiation patterns may be found in malignant melanoma. Schwannian features are unusual, and mostly present in the desmoplastic variant. We report the first description of psammoma bodies in malignant melanoma. Methods and results: A malignant melanoma arose in an intradermal naevus of the scalp in a 51-year-old woman, displaying focal neural-like features in the form of rosette-like pseudo-meissnerian alveolar nests, as well as numerous psammoma bodies grouped in a few areas. Tumour cell immunostaining for S100, HMB45, NKI-C3, and vimentin was detected. In addition, both malignant and benign melan…
