An atypical elderly patient with spontaneous regression of a primary lesion of malignant melanoma is presented. The 12 previously reported cases are also reviewed. The histological diagnosis of spontaneous regression of a melanoma can still be made after the regression appears to be grossly complete. All localized areas of depigmentation, or of scarring, should be biopsied when searching for an "occult" primary.
本文报告了一例原发性恶性黑色素瘤原发灶自发消退的非典型老年患者。同时对先前报道的12例病例进行了回顾。即使在肉眼可见的消退似乎完全完成后，仍可作出黑色素瘤自发消退的组织学诊断。在寻找“隐匿性”原发灶时，所有色素脱失或瘢痕形成的局部区域均应进行活检。
