Abstract
The present study reported a case of primary malignant melanoma of the bladder colliding with high-grade non-invasive urothelial papillary carcinoma with clinical, pathologic and immunohistochemical analysis, and reviewed the relevant literature. A 74-year-old male presented with hematuria; B ultrasound and computed tomography revealed a solid mass in the bladder and transurethral resection of the bladder lesion was performed. Microscopically, the tumors were composed of morphologically diverse malignant melanomas (95%) and high-grade non-invasive urothelial papillary carcinoma (5%), with no closely related or transitional regions. Immunohistochemistry indicated that malignant melanoma cells expressed HMB45, Melan-A and S-100, whereas they did not express any epithelial markers. The urothelial carcinomas expressed broad-spectrum cytokeratin and GATA3, and were negative for melanoma markers. The diagnosis of collision tumor between primary malignant melanoma of bladder and high-grade non-invasive urothelial papillary carcinoma depends on clinical and pathological examinations; this pathology is prone to recurrence and metastasis and has a poor prognosis.

Identification of distinct genomic features reveals frequent somatic AHNAK and PTEN mutations predominantly in primary malignant melanoma presenting in the ureter. Jpn J Clin Oncol 2022; 52:930-943. [PMID: 35578896 DOI: 10.1093/jjco/hyac061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2021] [Accepted: 04/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary malignant melanoma of the ureter is extremely rare. Genetic variants to the increased risk of developing the disease have not yet been investigated. METHODS Tumour mutation profiling for primary malignant melanoma of the ureter was performed by whole-exome sequencing. Immunohistochemistry was performed to verify histopathological features and the variants of predisposing genes and driver mutation genes. Furthermore, we conducted a literature review and Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Result-based study by searching public databases. RESULTS We identified 38 somatic single nucleotide variants and 9 somatic insertions and deletions (INDELs) in tumour specimens. After filtering with the Cancer Gene Census database, seven predisposing genes and two driver mutation genes were identified. Moreover, the immunohistochemical profile showed that tumour cells were positive for Melan-A, melanoma gp100 human melanoma black 45 (HMB45), S100 beta and P53. The expression levels of two driver mutation genes (phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and desmoyokin (AHNAK) and five predisposing genes (AT-rich interaction domain 1B (ARID1B), catalase, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 gamma 3 (EIF4G3), ANK3 and collagen type I) were significantly downregulated in tumour tissues compared to paracancerous tissues. In the literature review and Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results-based study, patients with primary malignant melanoma of the urinary tract had worse clinical outcomes than patients with primary urothelial carcinoma after 1:2 propensity score matching (P = 0.010). Additionally, Cox multivariate analysis for patients with primary malignant melanoma of the urinary tract indicated that distant metastasis (hazard ratio = 1.185; P = 0.044) was an independent predictor for overall survival, and tumour focality (hazard ratio = 0.602; P = 0.017) and non-surgery (hazard ratio = 0.434; P = 0.003) were independent factors for tumour progression. CONCLUSIONS Our study is the first to provide evidence that the distinct phenotypes of primary malignant melanoma of the ureter may be due to different genetic variations. The prognosis of primary malignant melanoma of the urinary tract was poorer than that of primary urothelial carcinoma of the urinary tract.

Urological Melanoma: A Comprehensive Review of a Rare Subclass of Mucosal Melanoma with Emphasis on Differential Diagnosis and Therapeutic Approaches. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13174424. [PMID: 34503234 PMCID: PMC8431506 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13174424] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2021] [Revised: 08/24/2021] [Accepted: 08/30/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Melanoma is reported as the 19th most common cancer worldwide, with estimated age-standardized incidence rates of 2.8-3.1 per 100,000. Although the origin is most frequently cutaneous, mucosal melanoma has been described several times in literature, and despite its rarity (only 1% of all melanomas), increasing attention is being paid to this disease form. Within this subgroup, melanomas of the uropoetic apparatus are a rarity among rarities. Indeed, less than 50 cases of primary melanoma originating from the urinary bladder have been described, and even less originating from the kidney, renal pelvis and urethra. In this work, we present a detailed review of the literature related to this subclass of mucosal melanoma, delve into the biological landscape of this neoplasm and discuss current approaches, future perspectives and potential therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Primary melanoma of the urinary tract is a very rare and aggressive cancer. It accounts for less than 1% of all the melanoma cases, making it difficult to histopathologically diagnose and manage. We present a retrospective case series of eight primary urinary tract melanoma with clinical, pathological, and molecular findings to add more insight to this challenging disease. These cases were evaluated for histopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular features of melanoma that were most commonly found in the urethra, followed by those in the bladder and ureter. Identification of nested growth patterns and in situ melanocytic components at cell edges are helpful in the histopathological diagnosis of amelanotic or hypomelanotic tumors. Our results indicate that urinary tract melanoma has several molecular traits, such as gene expression patterns. Genetic mutations may be related to metastasis, as well as provide targets for the management programs.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to evaluate the clinical and morphological features of primary malignant melanomas of the urinary bladder. We obtained information on five such cases from three different institutions. These were three men and two women between 52 and 76 years of age. Three tumors presented with hematuria, one with dysuria, and one was discovered incidentally on imaging studies. All were invasive to muscularis propria on transuretral resections performed for diagnosis. Neoplastic cells showed variable patterns (large cell epithelioid, small cell diffuse, storiform, or mixed) in different tumors. Pigmentation was prominent in all except one case. Each case was labeled diffusely for S-100, HMB-45, and Melan-A. Pan-cytokeratin showed a perinuclear dot-like reaction in two tumors. Three cases showed the BRAF mutation in molecular studies. Two patients were already metastatic at the time of diagnosis. Two patients died, one is alive with disease after 15 months, and two patients are disease free at 1 and 5 years of surveillance.

Abstract
Primary vaginal melanoma is a rare mucosal neoplasm, which is more aggressive than cutaneous melanoma. Information regarding its morphologic patterns is limited. In particular, the rhabdoid phenotype, mostly observed in metastatic or recurrent cutaneous melanomas, has yet to be reported at this anatomic location. Hence, a potential diagnostic difficulty may arise because of the inability to recognize this unusual histologic variant and its immunohistochemical aberrance. In this report, we describe the case of a primary vaginal melanoma in a 62-year-old woman, who exhibited both rhabdoid and small blue round cell morphologies, absence of S100 protein, and aberrant expression of desmin, CD56, and FLI-1. This report can facilitate the task of expanding the morphologic spectrum of vaginal melanoma, and prevent misdiagnosis and inadequate medical treatment.

Abstract
The clinical management of bladder cancer has seen little change over the last three decades and there is pressing need to identify more effective treatments for advanced disease. Low clinical use of neoadjuvant therapies stems from historical limitations in the ability to predict patients most likely to respond to combination chemotherapies. This article focuses on recent molecular and genetic studies, highlighting promising clinical trials and retrospective studies, and discusses emerging trials that use predictive biomarkers to match patients with therapies to which they are most likely to respond. The implementation of predictive genomic and molecular biomarkers will revolutionize urologic oncology and the clinical management of bladder cancer.

Abstract
The broad morphologic spectrum, inherent immunophenotypic heterogeneity of malignant melanoma and its rarity in the sinonasal tract are major challenges in eliciting the correct diagnosis, which may lead to misclassification and inadequate medical management. Herein, we describe a single case of a 70 year-old male with sinonasal mucosal melanoma, exhibiting varying histologic phenotypes including small round blue cell morphology, epithelioid and focal rhabdoid morphology and strong, diffuse desmin immunoreactivity. These constellation of features initially prompted the diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma. The differential diagnosis in this anatomic area includes other malignant small round blue cell tumors of the sinonasal mucosa such as rhabdomyosarcoma, olfactory neuroblastoma, sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma, and lymphoma. We reviewed precedent literature and further discuss the potential pitfalls to which pathologists may be prone.
