    Notes: Abstract:  A collagenolytic or necrobiotic non-infectious granuloma is one in which a granulomatous infiltrate develops around a central area of altered collagen and elastic fibers. The altered fibers lose their distinct boundaries and exhibit new staining patterns, becoming either more basophilic or eosinophilic. Within the area of altered collagen, there may be deposition of acellular substances such as mucin (blue) or fibrin (red), or there may be neutrophils with nuclear dust (blue), eosinophils (red), or flame figures (red). These color distinctions can be used as a simple algorithm for the diagnosis of collagenolytic granulomas, i.e. ‘blue’ granulomas vs. ‘red’ granulomas. Eight diagnoses are included within these two groupings, which are discussed in this two-part article. In the previously published first part, the clinical presentation, pathogenesis and histologic features of the ‘blue’ collagenolytic granulomas were discussed. These are the lesions of granuloma annulare, Wegener's granulomatosis, and rheumatoid vasculitis. In this second half of the series, the ‘red’ collagenolytic granulomas are discussed; these are the lesions of necrobiosis lipoidica, necrobiotic xanthogranuloma, rheumatoid nodules, Churg–Strauss syndrome, and eosinophilic cellulitis (Well's Syndrome).

    Notes: Distinguishing cutaneous signs which are associated with hereditary cancer-prone syndromes are known as cancer-associated genodermatoses. Muir-Torre syndrome (M-T) is characterized by the occurrence of sebaceous hyperplasia, adenoma and carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma with sebaceous differentiation, and/or keratoacanthoma in association with visceral cancer (often multiple), and improved survival. Family studies of M-T have been either wholly lacking or too incomplete to elucidate hereditary aetiology. We describe the cutaneous phenotype of M-T in an extended kindred with a possible variant of the Cancer Family Syndrome. We emphasize the need for more thorough documentation of family histories and cancer association in this cancer-associated genodermatosis in order to clarify hereditary syndrome identification, and to improve cancer control through employment of cutaneous signs as a beacon for highly targeted forms of visceral cancer.

    Notes: Familial atypical multiple mole melanoma (FAMMM) syndrome, a cancer-associated genodermatosis, is a dominantly inherited heterogeneous disorder with variable expressivity of both its cutaneous and cancer phenotypes. By using a verified historical review technique of cancer documentation (idout patient health records, pathology reports/slides, autopsy reports/slides, and death certificates) of all anatomic sites in all members of a modified nuclear pedigree (first-degree relatives plus maternal and paternal grandparents, aunts, and uncles) over several generations, we showed that the FAMMM syndrome is similar to the majority of autosomal dominant inherited cancer-associated genodermatoses and has excessive risk for cancer of multiple anatomic sites. With respect to the FAMMM syndrome, these cancers involved the breast, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal system, the eye (intraocular melanoma), and the lymphatic system. These FAMMM pedigrees showed some of the following distinctive characteristics of hereditary cancer: 1) integral patterns of cancer within and between pedigrees; 2) early age of onset of cancer; 3) prolonged survival of some pedigree members with cancer; and 4) an excess of multiple primary melanomas and cancers of variable anatomic sites. The presence of these features indicates that these cancers of variable anatomic sites may be etiologically associated with the FAMMM syndrome. Heterogeneity should be investigated in FAMMM pedigrees with attention to consistent differences in size and distribution of atypical lesions, age at cancer onset, and pattern of tumor occurrences. The occurrence of FAMMM pedigrees in the general population or among pedigrees of probands with atypical nevi is not known. The occurrence of systemic cancers in these FAMMM pedigrees requires the development of cancer surveillance programs that are specifically modified to the particular cancer pattern of each pedigree.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Le cancer du sein héréditaire (CSH) est cliniquement et génétiquement hétérogène. au point de vue clinique, le cancer dbute habituellement à un âge jeune, est souvent bilatéral, et est parfois associé à d'autres cancers primitifs, comme par exemple dans le syndrome de cancer héréditaire du sein et de l'ovaire (SCO). On peut également observer d'autres génotypes présumés susceptibles de donner des cancers du sein héréditaires ainsi que le syndrome Li-Fraumeni (SBLA), caractérisé par l'envahissement des trois couches germinales et comprenant les tumeurs sarcomateuses, les tumeurs du cerveau, les leucémies, les lymphomes, et des cancers des corticosurrénales associées à des cancers du sein à un âge précoce. Le cancer du sein est parfois associé à la maladie de Cowden, une maladie autosomique dominante, et la télangiectasie ataxique, une maladie autosomique récessive. Des exemples de “pedigrees” de plusieurs types des CSH sont présentés, soulignant l'hétérogénéité de ce syndrome. La plus récente identification du gène BRCA1 et son rôle dans le cancer du sein et le syndrome HBOC est un nouveau challenge pour le généticien d'aujourd'hui. Nous passons en revue nos attitudes de conseil génétique comprenant à la fois les recommandations de surveillance nouveau challenge pour le généticien d'aujourd'hui. Nous passons en revue nos attitudes de conseil génétique comprenant à la fois les recommandations de surveillance et d'attitude thérapeutiques compatibles avec l'histoire naturelle des CSH, et qui ont trait au développement future des Centres spécialisés pour évaluer ces CSH dans le but l'améliorer leur contrôle.
    Abstract: Resumen El cáncer mamario hereditario (CMH) exhibe una gran heterogeneidad clínica y genética. Desde el punto de vista clínico, se observa el comienzo del cáncer mamario en una edad temprana, una tasa considerable de bilateralidad, y patrones de múltiples cánceres primarios, tal como la combinación de carcinomas mamario y ovárico en el síndrome del cáncer de seno-ovario hereditarios (CSOH). Además del CSOH, se puede observar una variedad de genotipos putativos propensos al cáncer, incluyendo el cáncer mamario hereditario de ubicación específica y el síndrome de Li-Fraumeni, que se caracteriza por cánceres que afectan a todas las tres capas germinales, incluyendo sarcomas, tumores cerebrales, leucemia, linfoma y carcinoma adrenocortical, además de un notorio comienzo precoz del cáncer mamario. El cáncer mamario también se asocia con la enfermedad de Cowden hereditaria y autosómica dominante y con la ataxia-telangiectasia autosómicamente recesiva. Se presentan ejemplos de pedigríes que ilustran diversos síndromes de CMH, con el objeto de demostrar la heterogeneidad del CMH. La reciente identificación del gen BRCA1 en el cáncer mamario hereditario, de ubicación específica y de comienzo temprano, y el sindrome CSOH, ha significado nuevos desafíos para el consejero genético. En este artículo hacemos una revisión de la consejería genética que se refiere a la vigilancia y a las recomendaciones sobre manejo que corresponda a la historia natural del CMH, y enfocamos el concepto en cuanto al desarrollo de centros de especializados en CMH, con el propósito de mejorar el control del cáncer.
    Notes: Abstract Hereditary breast cancer (HBC) shows extant clinical and genetic heterogeneity. Clinically one finds the onset of breast cancer at an early age, an excess of bilaterality, and patterns of multiple primary cancer such as combinations of breast and ovarian carcinoma in the hereditary breast-ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome. In addition to HBOC, one sees a variety of putative breast cancer-prone genotypes inclusive of hereditary site-specific breast cancer, and the Li-Frameni (SBLA) syndrome that is characterized by cancers involving all three germinal layers including sarcomas, brain tumors, leukemia, lymphoma, and adrenal cortical carcinoma in addition to often markedly early-onset breast cancer. Breast cancer is also associated with autosomal dominantly inherited Cowden's disease and autosomal recessively inherited ataxia-telangiectasia. Examples of pedigrees depicting clincal examples of these several HBC syndromes are presented in order to describe HBC's heterogeneity. The recent identification of the BRCA1 gene in early-onset hereditary sitespecific breast cancer and the HBOC syndrome has led to new challenges for the genetic counselor. We review genetic counseling, which embraces surveillance and management recommendations that are responsive to the natural history of HBC and address the concept for future development of centers of expertise for HBC in the interest of improving cancer control.

    Notes: Abstract There are no premonitory physical signs or biomarkers which can identify the genotypic status in Lynch syndrome II. Diagnosis is therefore dependent on the pedigree, with attention to cancer of all anatomic sites, inclusive of those cardinal features of its natural history. The tumor spectrum in Lynch syndrome II has continued to expand commensurately with increasing interest in this disorder. We report a family showing the constant cancer features of this syndrome but, in addition, occurrences of carcinoma of the bile duct, urologic system, and extremely early-onset carcinoma of the pancreas, in patients in the direct genetic lineage who were considered to be candidates for having inherited the deleterious genotype. Diagnosis of Lynch syndrome II is crucial in targeting its surveillance and management.

    Notes: Abstract We describe the clinical and pathologic features in four extended kindreds that are consistent with the hereditary flat adenoma syndrome (HFAS). This colon cancer susceptibility disorder is believed to be inherited as an autosomal dominant. The principal phenotypic marker is multiple colonic adenomas (usually less than 100), with a tendency for proximal location. The majority of these adenomas are flat or slightly raised and plaquelike, as opposed to polypoid. Colon cancers have typically developed in middle age and show no unusual histologic features. There are a variety of extracolonic manifestations, including adenomas and carcinomas of the small bowel and fundic gland polyps. The HFAS is contrasted with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and shown to be distinct from both in the numbers and distribution of colonic adenomas and the typical age of cancer diagnosis. The clinical implications of these findings are discussed. Given its linkage to the FAP locus on 5q and the phenotypic parallels between HFAS and FAP, we conclude that HFAS is a variant of FAP.

    Notes: Abstract The Lynch syndromes account for about 4 to 6 percent of the total colorectal cancer (CRC) burden. Despite more than two decades of documentation in the literature, many physicians fail to recognize the clinical features of these syndromes. The lack of premonitory physical stigmata, coupled with the absence of a biomarker of cancer susceptibility, mandates full reliance on a well-orchestrated family history for diagnosis. These deficiencies impede cancer control. Even if the diagnosis is made, proper surveillance and management measures that are responsive to the Lynch syndromes' natural history may fail to be implemented. We describe CRC occurrences in patients from four extended Lynch syndrome kindreds. Failures in cancer control were attributable to poor patient compliance and/or to limited physician knowledge about the natural history and surveillance recommendations for the Lynch syndromes. Physicians need to more effectively educate their high-risk patients about the significance of genetic risk, the natural history of CRC, and the appropriate surveillance strategies in the Lynch syndromes.
