Familiarity with the clinical signs of malignant melanoma can result in earlier recognition and thus potentially decrease both patient morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, several cutaneous tumors, both benign and malignant, have clinical similarities to this neoplasm, often making the correct diagnosis difficult. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the clinical characteristics of the different types of malignant melanoma and those lesions that mimic this ominous malignancy. Furthermore, diagnostic clues to help delineate between these various pigmented lesions are provided.
熟悉恶性黑色素瘤的临床体征可实现早期识别，从而有可能降低患者的发病率和死亡率。不幸的是，几种皮肤肿瘤，包括良性和恶性的，在临床上都与这种肿瘤相似，这常常使正确诊断变得困难。本文旨在讨论不同类型恶性黑色素瘤以及那些类似这种凶险恶性肿瘤的病变的临床特征。此外，还提供了有助于区分这些各种色素沉着病变的诊断线索。
