Abstract:
Malignant Melanoma is rare, occupied less than about 0.5% of malignant skin cancer, in Korea. We have experienced three cases for recent 2 years. Case 1 was a 65-year-old woman suffered from 2.0 × 3.0cm sized fungating mass with central ulceration on the left heel for 1 year duration. Left inguinal lymph node was enlarged. She expired 9 months later in spite of treatment with surgical excision, lymph node dissection, and chemotherapy with DTIC. Case 2 was a 37-year-old woman showed 1.0 × 1.5cm sized lobulated, black papules on the right preauricular area for 8 years duration. Satellite lesions developed 1 year ago. There were recurrences on the excisional sites after treatment with wide surgical excision. Case 3 was a 45-year-old woman had 0.5 × 2.Ocm sized, black pigmented patch with satellite lesions on the left sole for 2 years duration. Surgical excision and follow-up for 1 year after treatment showed no recurrence yet.
