Histopathology Skin --Malignant melanom

Geez, it look so straight forward determining if it's melanoma. I always worry the pathologist got my diagnosis wrong

thank you, Very well presented .

laymans key to detecting a melanoma is
look for ANY change in a mole .

unfortunaely the nodular melanoma
presented at the begining often begins vertical dermal invasion early.
micro mets are probably present

Thank you very much! Greetings from Brazil.

very well done, very good explained. i knew all this because four years ago i've lost my husband because of a melanoma.

i am studying the biology cancer in my second year at university and this has really helped. thanks!

yuck, those are some mean and nasty looking cells in there. is it just me, or do some of these have multi-polar mitoses?

yeah, a multipolar mitosis is generally regarded as a cancer cell, i can not think of ever seeing a MPM in a cell that wasn't

Thank you for these videos. You have an excellent ability to teach, & I am able to really follow you, in a very interested way. I am a survivor of a malignant cystosarcoma phyllodes tumor (doubtful that 1 of those will be on here :( ~ It accounts for less than 1/10th of 1% of all types of breast cancers, and is a vascular cancer & unresponsive to most treatments, other than surgery. Anyway, I have a strong interest in medicine & find all of this very fascinating... Thank you for the videos

of course, if the new "scar tissue" really turns out to be melanoma on microscopic examination, prognosis could be guarded long term

many melanomas can respond drastically well to immunotherapy
