Malignant melanoma. A clinical and surgical review. Part I: Introduction and general discussion

ML Zivot and IO Kanat

Malignant melanoma, the leading cause of death from diseases of the skin, often is found on the lower extremity. When encountered by the podiatric physician, a thorough understanding of the disease entity is essential, as misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis can have fatal consequences. The authors present the first of a two-part comprehensive clinical and surgical review of malignant melanoma. Part I reviews etiology, risk factors, signs, symptoms, clinical features, and growth patterns. In Part II, a pictorial lower extremity differential diagnosis will be provided, along with diagnostic and surgical criteria for the podiatric surgeon.
