ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Clinical features of malignant melanoma (MM) are known to be different according to racial and environmental factors. Recently, there have been reports of an increase of MM.OBJECTIVE:
We evaluated the incidence of tumors, age and sex distribution, tumor sites, and histopathological patterns.METHODS:
Clinical records were reviewed for 35 cases of MM with a histologically confirmed diagnosis for patients who visited the Department of Dermatology, Chungnam National University Hospital during the 20 years from 1980 to 1999. Histopathologic and clinical characteristics were also reviewed.RESULTS:
A total of 35 malignant melanoma cases diagnosed at Chungnam National University Hospital during the past 20 years from 1980 to 1999 were included for the clinico-histopathologic study. The ratio of man to woman with MM was 1 1.33 with a mean age of 55 years. Acral lentigenous melanoma was the most common clinico-histopathologic pattern.CONCLUSION:
The incidence of MM has increased during the past 20 years. The common site, and histopathologic patterns show a significant difference from Caucasians.
