Abstract
- Verrucous malignant melanoma is a rare variant of melanoma, characterized by a hyperkeratotic verrucous surface, a rather uniform color, and a moderately irregular outline. Histologically, discrepancy exists between tumor thickness according to Breslow and Clark's level due to the marked epidermal hyperplasia. Herein, we report an unusual case of verrucous malignant melanoma which developed on the right leg in a 32-year-old man.
