BACKGROUND: Acral cutaneous melanoma (ACM) is an aggressive skin cancer, especially when diagnosed in the advanced stage. The Ki-67 is a rapid tool for proliferation rate analysis. Previous data indicated that its staining pattern is distinct during the several stages of the cell cycle among epithelial cells.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prognostic impact of Ki-67 expression pattern classification among advanced acral cutaneous melanoma cases.
METHODS: Two pathologists classified staining nuclear patterns of Ki-67 in the hot spot of scanning slides of advanced ACM (pT4): NP1 (randomly Ki-67 immunopositive fine or coarse granules), NP2 (Ki-67 stained in one or two well defined and centralized nodules), NP3 (Ki-67 seen as granules or nodules occupying most of the nucleus), NP4 (nucleoplasm with intense and homogeneous Ki-67 staining) and NP5 (empty central area with peripheral Ki-67). For analysis, seven cases per group ‒ Alive (Al) and Melanoma-Related Death (De) ‒ were randomly selected.
RESULTS: This pilot study analyzed 5676 Ki-67 positive nuclei. Means comparison between the two groups revealed differences in nuclear patterns NP1 (p = 0.0014), NP4 (p = 0.038), NP5 (p = 0.0193), and the total number of stained nuclei (p = 0.0258).
STUDY LIMITATIONS: Small number of cases and biased value of 6.35 through the Bland-Altman analysis.
CONCLUSION: The present analysis highlights the importance of Ki-67 staining patterns as a potential prognostic marker among ACM. High Ki-67 positive nuclei were associated with worse outcomes (death), particularly in staining patterns before and after mitosis (NP1, NP4, and NP5).
