Abstract:
We experienced a 49-year-old female with a slowly growing tumor(4.0x3.5x3.0cm) on her right knee over 3 months' duration. She sustained a flame burn on her right knee at 7 year-old-age. A biopsy on the skin lesion revealed a malignant melanoma picture. Extensive local excision and grafting was done. Nine months after the operation, there was no evidence of recurrence or metastasis.
