A Retrospective study to assess Clinicopathology of Malignant Melanoma

Abstract

Malignant melanoma is a type of skin cancer which is arises from the pigment-producing cells - melanocytes. Malignant Melanomas typically occur in the skin but rarely occur in the mouth, intestines or eye (uveal melanoma). Also may occur anywhere on the body. Symptoms of malignant melanoma include a new, unusual growth or a change in an pre-existing mole. Treatment may involve surgical excision, radiation or in some cases, chemotherapy.
