Clinical records and histologic materials from 81 patients with malignant melanoma at the Department of Dermatology at Tohoku University School of Medicine were reviewed. In addition, a statistical study on 1597 cases of malignant melanoma collected from the Japanese literature from 1961 to 1982 was performed. The annual mortality rate has been increasing almost linearly over the past 20 years. The mortality rate per year for 1980 was 0.21 per 100,000. Five-year survival rate at Tohoku University was 35 percent. The most common site of melanoma was acral, especially the plantar surfaces. The clinical and histologic study of acral melanomas showed that clinicopathologic features are the same as those reported for acral lentiginous melanoma in the United States.
回顾了日本东北大学医学院皮肤科81例恶性黑色素瘤患者的临床记录和组织学资料。此外，还对1961年至1982年从日本文献中收集的1597例恶性黑色素瘤病例进行了统计研究。在过去20年中，年死亡率几乎呈线性上升。1980年的年死亡率为每10万人中有0.21人。东北大学的五年生存率为35%。黑色素瘤最常见的部位是肢端，尤其是足底。肢端黑色素瘤的临床和组织学研究表明，其临床病理特征与美国报道的肢端雀斑样痣黑色素瘤相同。
