We report a case of a head and neck melanoma fulfilling the criteria for spontaneous regression of the primary tumor. The melanoma originated within a pretragal nevus. Histological examination of the surgical specimen revealed regressive changes within the nevus but no demonstrable melanoma. This brings to a total of 14 the number of patients with documented regression of a primary melanoma.
我们报告了一例头颈部黑色素瘤病例，该病例符合原发性肿瘤自发消退的标准。黑色素瘤起源于耳屏前痣。手术标本的组织学检查显示痣内有退行性改变，但未发现明显的黑色素瘤。这使得有记录的原发性黑色素瘤消退患者总数达到了14例。
