Twelve cases of malignant melanoma of childhood were collected from the pathology files of Memorial and James Ewing Hospitals covering a 40‐year period from 1928 to 1968. All of these cases had documented evidence of metastatic disease; 4 have survived longer than 5 years, and 2 of these are alive and well more than 15 years after therapeutic regional lymph node dissection. Clinical and pathologic findings in these cases are summarized, and a brief historical review is included.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
