Cutaneous malignant is generally regarded as a skin cancer of Caucasians. However, one subtype, acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM), has an equal distribution among all ethnic groups and is the variant most common in non-Caucasians. In its early stage it is difficult to recognize and, unless diagnosed early, has a very poor prognosis. Herein, we present 3 cases of ALM seen on Kauai in 1990.
皮肤恶性肿瘤通常被认为是白种人的皮肤癌。然而,其中一种亚型,肢端雀斑样痣黑色素瘤(ALM),在所有种族群体中分布均等,并且是在非白种人中最常见的变体。在其早期很难识别,除非早期诊断,否则预后非常差。在此,我们展示了1990年在考艾岛发现的3例ALM病例。
