Diagnostic test accuracy meta‐analysis of PRAME in distinguishing primary cutaneous melanomas from benign melanocytic lesions

Abstract: Diagnostic test accuracy meta-analysis of PRAME in distinguishing primary cutaneous melanomas from benign melanocytic lesions PRAME is a novel immunohistochemical marker that aids the diagnosis of melanocytic lesions. Diffuse PRAME positivity suggests melanoma, whereas benign naevi are negative or only weakly positive. However, the factual diagnostic accuracy of PRAME is not well established. Moreover, some studies have suggested that the threshold of 3+/50% positive cells may be more useful in practice than t… Show more

“…Recently, preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma (PRAME) expression has been reported to be a useful adjunctive marker to diagnose melanocytic proliferations. 11,12 However, in ambiguous spitzoid neoplasms, the low sensitivity of PRAME expression when compared to cytogenetic techniques used in establishing the risk of progression of the tumours has been reported previously. 12,23,24 In our study, 36% of SM and 50% of MSF tested negative (Table 4), but no intermediate-grade cases showed PRAME expression of more than 50% of positive The strength of our study relies upon the presentation of a large series of spitzoid neoplasms with atypical features in which the risk of progression has been **p16 significant loss was considered when completely negative groups of tumour cells in dermis were observed.…”
