Case History: A Case of primary Amelanotic Malignant Melanoma
This case study discusses the atypical presentation of amelanotic melanoma in a 37-year-old Caucasian female patient and the challenges it poses for diagnosis and the consequent delay in treatment. 5-year survival rate is 93% for all melanomas but amelanotic melanoma survival is 88% and this is predominantly due to delayed diagnosis(1). Better patient and doctor education and readily available histopathological diagnosis confirmation can lead to earlier diagnosis and better outcome. Key words: amelanotic malignant melanoma, case presentation
