A Case of Acral Lentiginous Melanoma
Abstract
- We report herein a case of acral lentiginous melanoma in a 65-year-old female. An about 2x3cm sized erythematous to brownish mass with central ulceration was located on the left heel accompanied by enlargement of the left inguinal lymph nodes. Histopathologic findings showed lentiginous proliferation of atypical melanocytes with pseudoepithliomatous hyperplasia and invasion of tumor cells from the epidermis into the dermis. Focal pigmented melanocytes were also noted. Complete surgical excision and chemotherapy with DTIC were done. Marked edematous swelling on the left lower leg was developed after 8 months and 1 month later she was expired.
