An unusual case of acral lentiginous melanoma with leukoderma

Abstract

Melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer with high mortality. The sole of the foot is an uncommon site where it may remain unnoticed or be misdiagnosed. Melanoma-associated leukoderma (MAL) may be an early sign and a high index of suspicion in late-onset vitiligo may result in early diagnosis. We present a case of MAL with acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) in an elderly female.
