Outline Of Presentation Common Skin Lesions, Benign And Malignant Assessment Of Pigmented Lesion Points to take home
3
Skin lesions, tumours and cancers Actinic keratosis Angiokeratoma Angiolymphoid hyperplasia Angiosarcoma Aplasia cutis Atypical fibroxanthoma Atypical naevi Basal cell carcinoma Bazex syndrome
4
Which is Malignant? SSMM BCP
5
Which is Benign? Amelanotic melanoma Blue naevus
6
Which Would Worry You? Irritated BCP Pyogenic granuloma
7
Benign Viral warts Seborrhoeic keratoses Naevi Angiomas Epidermoid cysts Other common lesions
8
Viral warts
9
Viral warts on fingers
10
Seborrhoeic Keratoses
12
Benign naevi
13
Atypical naevus
14
Blue Naevus Melanocytes deep within the skin Benign but usually excised to exclude melanoma
15
Halo Naevus Benign lesion Auto-immune reaction, with depigmentation of skin surrounding naevus. Skin eventually re- pigments.
16
Remember Melanoma is rare in children under 12 years age Adults can develop benign naevi up to 50 years of age
17
Regression surrounding melanoma
18
Cherry Angioma
19
Angiokeratoma
20
Angiokeratoma of Fordyce
21
Epidermoid (Sebaceous) Cyst
22
Dermatofibroma Feels hard, dimples when edges pressed together Scarring due to insect bites
23
Pinch sign
24
Senile Comedone
25
Keratoacanthoma
26
Pre-malignant Actinic keratoses Bowens disease Lentigo maligna
27
Actinic Keratosis Found on sun-exposed sites Patient with ≥ 10 lesions has 10% risk of developing SCC in one Treated with cryotherapy, 5-FU, Picato,Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)
28
AKs on scalp
29
Bowens disease on leg
30
Bowens Disease Pre-cancerous 5% risk of developing SCC if not treated
31
Melanoma in situ
32
Lentigo Maligna Melanoma
33
LM/Melanoma-in-situ LM arises on sun-damaged skin, face and neck Melanoma-in-situ in other areas 5% develop melanoma so need to be treated Can monitor in secondary care in older people if treatment difficult
34
Malignant Basal cell carcinoma Squamous cell carcinoma Melanoma Metastatic disease
35
Superficial Basal Cell Carcinoma Treatment options include cryotherapy, 5- FU and PDT
36
Nodular BCC
37
Pigmented BCC
38
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
40
Which is Which? Keratoacanthoma SCC
41
Superficial Spreading Malignant Melanoma
42
Nodular Melanoma
43
Amelanotic Melanoma Similar to pyogenic granuloma but the history is different
44
MAJORS SURGERY LONGANDWINDING ROAD GLASGOW G46 6HT Dermatology Clinic Stirling Community Hospital FK8 2QR Dear Doctor, DERMOT TITUS 12/04/1945 This patient has a pigmented lesion on his back that he has had for some time. It is increasing in size. It has an irregular border and is very itchy. Please can you see him urgently to exclude a melanoma? Sincerely, Dr. Doolittle Dr. Doolittle MB ChB
45
Assessment of Naevi SEVEN POINT CHECKLIST Change in shape Change in size Change in colour Over 6 mm. in diameter Inflammation Crusting or bleeding Minor itch or irritation
46
Assessment of Naevi ABCD(E) METHOD A - asymmetry B - borders irregular C - colour variation D - diameter larger than pinkie nail (E – rapid elevation)
49
A – asymmetry B - borders irregular C - colour variation D - diameter larger than pinkie nail (E – rapid elevation)
50
POINTS TO TAKE HOME Always take a full history Learn to recognise the difference between seborrhoeic keratoses and naevi The most important history in melanoma is one of rapid change in a pre-existing naevus or of a new naevus
