Basomelanocytic tumor

Basomelanocytic tumor

Clinical features Basomelanocytic tumor is a very rare biphasic neoplasm similar, or perhaps related, to the dermal squamomelanocytic tumor described above.1

However, basomelanocytic tumor is a combination of basaloid carcinoma and melanoma.2โ€“4 As would be expected, the melanocytic component of the tumor appears to be the more aggressive component and has been reported to metastasize with fatal outcome.3

Histologic features In this combined tumor, the basaloid component in the few described cases can take the appearance of a basaloid squamous cell carcinoma or be more basal cell carcinoma-like (Fig. 26.128). Unlike so-called collision tumors, biphasic tumors show an intimate association of the epithelial and melanocytic components. An intraepidermal component is not always present. Cases of melanoma metastatic to a basal cell carcinoma or colonization by melanoma in situ have been described as mimics of basomelanocytic tumor.5,6

The melanoma component stains with traditional melanocytic markers such as S100 protein, MART-1, and HMB-45 (Fig. 26.129). Cytokeratins, including AE1/AE3, mark the basaloid component, and Ber-EP4 can also be positive (Fig. 26.130).3,4 Characteristic copy number alterations can be seen in the melanoma component.1
