Acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) is the most common type of melanoma in dark skinned peoples and Asians. The mean age of ALM ranges from 55 to 68 years. We report a case of ALM in a 60-year-old male patient presented with growth over palmer surface of left thumb since 2 years. The prognosis of invasive acral melanoma is poor, but future studies are needed to know more about the clinical outcome of this malignancy. |
