RESUMO
O conhecimento da frequência e das características clinicoepidemiológicas do melanoma cutâneo nas diversas regiões do Brasil é importante para avaliar a magnitude do problema e direcionar adequadamente as ações de saúde. Neste estudo, revisaram-se os dados de 55 pacientes com melanoma cutâneo atendidos em duas instituições de saúde da cidade de Manaus. Verificou-se maior frequência entre homens pardos, na oitava década de vida, com lesões do tipo melanoma acrolentiginoso nos membros inferiores, com Breslow maior que 1mm e Clark nível V.
ABSTRACT

Rates were higher in brown-skinned males and in individuals of 70-80 years of age.
