Ancillary testing for melanoma: current trends and practical considerations

Gregory A. Hosler et al.

Summary: The diagnosis of melanocytic lesions can be aided by ancillary testing, but clinical inspection and histomorphological assessment on biopsy are usually sufficient. Immunohistochemistry and molecular studies can help reduce the number of borderline lesions, and sequential testing may improve diagnostic performance.

Cognitive bias in pathology, as exemplified in dermatopathology

Christine J. Ko et al.

Summary: Cognitive bias refers to reproducible traps and pitfalls in human thinking patterns that are not intentionally discriminatory but necessary for interpreting the world around us, including microscopic slides. Therefore, examining cognitive bias in pathology, such as dermatopathology, is a useful exercise.

Merkel cell carcinoma: an update

Ryan C. Decoste et al.

Summary: Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare primary cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma with adverse prognosis. Advances in understanding its biology, including classification based on different origins, relevance of immunohistochemistry and molecular characteristics, and the use of immunotherapeutics, are discussed in this review. The topics are particularly relevant to surgical and dermatopathologists.

The role of hair follicle counts and ratios in the histopathological assessment of androgenic alopecia, alopecia areata and telogen effluvium: does counting 'count'?

Eleni Ieremia et al.

Summary: Scalp biopsies for the diagnosis of alopecia are usually assessed histopathologically in specialist centers. However, in non-specialist settings or at a low frequency, follicular counts and ratios can be a useful diagnostic tool, especially for non-scarring alopecia and those with overlapping features.

Recurrence and Mortality Risk of Merkel Cell Carcinoma by Cancer Stage and Time From Diagnosis

Aubriana M. McEvoy et al.

Summary: This study aimed to estimate the risk of stage-specific MCC recurrence and mortality since diagnosis. The study included 618 MCC patients enrolled in a Seattle-based data repository from 2003 to 2019. The results showed a 5-year recurrence rate of 40% for MCC, with 95% of recurrences occurring within the first 3 years.
