RESUMEN
Se reporta el caso de un paciente varón de 68 años de edad que presentó tumoración exofítica en planta de pie derecho que al estudio histopatológico fue compatible con melanoma acral amelanótico desmoplásico. El melanoma desmoplásico es una variante histológica de presentación poco frecuente, más aún el tipo amelanótico, y de localización acral, por lo que requiere de un diagnóstico precoz para el tratamiento oportuno, mejorando así el pronóstico del paciente.
ABSTRACT
We report the case of a male patient aged 68, who presented an exophytic tumor in his right foot plant that, by histopathological study, was compatible with acral amelatonic desmoplastic melanoma. Desmoplastic melanoma is a subtype of rare representation, and even more the amelatonic type of acral location, therefore it requires early diagnosis for prompt treatment and thereby improving patient prognosis.
