Abstract
- Recent days, many foreigners visit Korea and our dermatology clinics are not the exception. It is necessary to know the skin diseases of the foreigners, especially whose skin color is different from that of Korean. We are presenting the case of superficial spreading melanoma in a 31-year old white female. It was difficult to suspect her skin lesion as melanoma clinically. Her mother and sister had the history of malignant melanoma. We should remember that malignant melanoma is much more common in white persons and may look different from that of ours.
