RESUMEN
RESUMEN: El melanoma es una neoplasia que se origina de los melanocitos, células derivadas de la cresta neural. En el Ecuador, entre el 2001 y 2005 se diagnosticaron en Quito en promedio: 18 casos anuales de melanoma en hombres y 26 casos en mujeres, con una tasa de incidencia de 2.5 y 3.2 respectivamente, mientras queen Guayaquil, durante el período 2003-2006 fueron reportados 49 casos en total, con una incidencia de 0.9 por cada 100.000 habitantes en hombres y 0.1 en mujeres. Siempre que se pueda es preferible una biopsia escisional, extirpando la lesión entera. La determinación del ganglio centinela junto al nivel de Clark, el espesor de Breslow y la ulceración del tumor, son considerados los factores pronósticos más importantes del melanoma maligno.
ABSTRACT
SUMMARY: Melanoma is a neoplasm that originates from the melanocytes, cells derived from the neural crest. In Ecuador, between 2001 and 2005 an average of 18 cases in men and 26 cases in women were diagnosed in Quito, with an incidence rate of 2.5 and 3.2 respectively, while in Guayaquil, during the period 2003-2006, 49 cases were reported, with an incidence of 0.9 per 100.000 inhabitants in men and 0.1 in women. The exact etiology is not clear, it is considered a heterogeneous diseasewith multifactorial origin. Whenever possible, an excisional biopsy is preferable, removing the entire lesion. The determination of the sentinel lymph node along with the Clark level, the Breslow thickness and the ulceration of the tumor, are considered the most important prognostic factors of malignant melanoma.
