“…UV radiation is a major environmental melanomagenic agent, while many other environmental factors (exposure to chemicals, like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, benzene, polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides, trichloroethylene and dioxin, or to ionizing radiation) may also induce CM (14).…”

“…2a). The pathogenesis of melanoma is very complex because numerous genetic, host (eye color, hair color, skin color, number of nevi) and environmental factors play roles in its generation and progression (14). It is well known that there are other skin carcinogens than UV exposure (for instance, chemicals and X-rays) (41).…”

“…8 This is important to remember when forming a differential diagnosis, because ALM is not directly related to sun exposure as is the case with other subtypes. 9 Reports illustrate the commonality of misdiagnosing this disease. Between 20% and 34% of ALM cases are initially misdiagnosed, causing a delay in treatment.…”

Acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) is a disease that is found on the palms, soles, and nail beds. Because these areas are not often examined during general medical examinations, the presence of ALM often goes unnoticed or the diagnosis is delayed. Research shows that the misdiagnosis of ALM is common, reported between 20% and 34%. We present three cases of ALM that were initially misdiagnosed and referred to the senior author (B.C.M.) in an effort to assess why misdiagnosis is common. The existing literature illuminates clinical pitfalls in diagnosing ALM. The differential diagnosis of many different podiatric skin and nail disorders should include ALM. Although making the correct diagnosis is essential, the prognosis is affected by the duration of the disease and level of invasiveness. Unfortunately, most of the reported misdiagnosed cases are of a later stage and worse prognosis. This review highlights that foot and ankle specialists should meet suspect lesions with a heightened index of suspicion and perform biopsy when acral nonhealing wounds and/or lesions are nonresponsive to treatment.

An unusual high number of patients (about 46%) had MM on sunshielded areas, a higher value than in the general population, in which about 10% of melanomas arise on non-sun-exposed areas (22) (Figure 3). In one case, we identified a special localization: a scrotal MM in a 22-year-old male patient.…”

Malignant Melanoma in Young Patients: Histopathologic Particularities

Malignant melanoma is an aggressive, therapy resistant tumor of the skin with increased incidence. Some studies report a better outcome for young patients, while others failed to demonstrate this feature. We present a retrospective study including 28 patients with malignant melanoma aged between 15 and 30 years. Some special morphologic features were identified, sustaining the idea that heterogeneity of malignant melanoma in this age group was very high. In young patients, thin superficial spreading melanomas are more frequent, but there are some patients with very advanced lesions and poor outcome. The high incidence of melanomas developed on preexisting nevi indicates the need for a thorough surveillance of nevi in pediatric patients.
