Spitz w/ Kaminoettes

• (Tiny Kamino bodies)

• The guidelines of pink globules:

• Make sure it’s really a Kamino

• Kaminos favor the dx of Spitz

• Kaminos are rare in melanoma

• Large Kaminos = greatest impact

• Small Kaminos great if numerous

Conclusions

• History has oversimplified the categorization of melanocytic tumors. It’s broader that melanoma and nevus or melanoma and Spitz.

Conclusions

• There are categories that current nosology has not conceived of, including melanoma ex Spitz, low-grade melanoma, and partially-transformed but benign.

Conclusions

• In our existing paradigm, ancillary analysis provides additional insight into controversial tumors.

Conclusions

• Morphologic analysis may be misleading, especially if imprecisely applied. In the context of melanocytic tumors, we may lump unrelated entities.

Last thought

• While morphology earns us a living, morphologic arguments and morphologic categories may be deceptive and limiting
