    A Nodular Melanoma of the foot is a relatively uncommon disease, which accounts for the dearth of literature. The anatomical location of a primary malignant melanoma is of prognostic importance as primary lesions of the foot and ankle have poorer prognostic outcomes. This single case reports a life-threatening presentation, of a primary nodular melanoma of the foot with associated distant metastases of the skeletal system, organs and lymph nodes.

    Melanoma is a well-known malignant neoplasm of the skin, although it can also arise from other structures. Bone metastasis is not an uncommon event associated with melanoma, although primary osseous melanoma is very rare. In the present report, we describe a case of primary melanoma arising from the left third metatarsal in an adult male. The lesion was treated with surgical excision without adjunct chemotherapy, and recurrence developed approximately 12 months after the foot surgery. The patient died of the cancer 34 months after it had been identified. Primary melanoma arising in a metatarsal is rare, and we wished to highlight this unusual presentation.

    Amelanotic melanoma (AM) of the heel is a very rare subtype of malignant melanoma in which the tumour cells, unlike other types of melanoma, are characterised by little or no melanin pigmentation. AM resembles many benign dermatological complications that often lead to late diagnosis of lesions, poor prognosis, and occasionally misdiagnosis at an early stage of the disease. We report a case of a 73-year-old man with a heel ulcer who was admitted to Al-Zahra Hospital (Isfahan, Iran). Chronic osteomyelitis was considered the primary diagnosis, and several courses of antibiotics were prescribed for the patient. The ulcer failed to improve after 9 months' of therapy, and because of an increase in the size of the ulcer and the growth of two tumours in the right heel, a biopsy of the lesion was conducted. The pathology report confirmed invasive AM. The present report emphasises the necessity to biopsy all skin lesions, even with low clinical significance, to avoid wrong subsequent treatments, prevent a delay in diagnosis, reduce misdiagnosis, and improve the survival rate of patients.

    4. Melanoma of the lower extremities: foot site is an independent risk factor for clinical outcome.
    期刊:International journal of dermatology
    日期:2015-02-06
    DOI :10.1111/ijd.12730
    BACKGROUND:Despite the better prognosis of melanomas localized on lower extremities, some studies have suggested that melanomas on the foot are related to a poorer survival and should be considered separately. OBJECTIVE:To review our case series of cutaneous melanomas on the lower extremities and to analyze the clinicopathological association, time course, types of progression, and survival differences. METHODS:We included 1671 patients (stage 0-II) with a cutaneous melanoma on the lower extremities (subungual melanomas were excluded). Of these, 327 were localized on the foot. Multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate disease-specific survival and disease-free interval. RESULTS:Distribution of known prognostic factors and patterns of progression of foot and leg melanoma differ across genders. The foot site was confirmed as a negative independent prognostic factor on disease-specific survival and disease-free interval. CONCLUSION:Foot melanoma could represent a particular subgroup, which could require specific management in the future.

    5. Acral lentiginous melanoma of the foot misdiagnosed as a traumatic ulcer. A cautionary case.

    The incidence of cutaneous melanoma is rising faster than that of almost any other cancer in the United States. Acral lentiginous melanoma is a subtype of melanoma that involves the palms, soles, and nail beds. Although it is one of the rarer types of melanoma, it has a poorer prognosis than other more common subtypes. We describe a case of plantar acral melanoma in a 66-year-old woman that was initially misdiagnosed as a traumatic foot ulcer. We highlight this case to emphasize the importance of close observation and biopsy of ulcerative lesions of the foot that have atypical features or are refractory to standard treatment.

    Malignant melanoma can present a variety of histopathological patterns. Cartilaginous change in the absence of osteogenic differentiation is extremely rare in malignant melanoma, being among the least frequent of the wide range of melanoma histologic patterns. We report a case of a 47-year-old woman with a subungual nodule on her right great toe for many years. Histopathological examination of the lesion led to a diagnosis of malignant melanoma with cartilaginous differentiation devoid of concomitant osseous areas. It would appear that this unusual form of melanoma has a predilection for acral location, particularly the subungual region. Malignant melanoma with chondroid stroma should therefore be considered in the differential diagnosis of cartilaginous lesions of the toes and fingers. Careful examination of the overlying epidermis and identification of an in situ component of melanoma may be necessary in order to establish the correct diagnosis.

    8. Clinical outcomes of localized melanoma of the foot: a case-control study.

    The controversy over whether melanoma of the foot has a poorer prognosis than melanoma of the leg remains unresolved. This investigation used a case-control design to address this issue. This design consisted of a survival analysis of 119 cases with localized melanoma of the foot and 238 controls with localized melanoma of the leg that were matched on prognostic factors including tumor thickness, ulceration, surgical treatment, gender, year of diagnosis, and age. There was a statistically significant difference between the survival rates of cases and controls. The 5-year survival rate for cases was 74.3% compared to 85.2% for controls. At 10 years, the survival rate was 63.6% for cases and 77.2% for controls. Cases experienced a higher percentage of distant recurrences than controls. These results imply that patients with melanoma of the foot have a poorer survival than patients with melanoma of the leg after controlling for prognostic factors.

    9. Characteristics and surgical treatment of recurrence melanoma of the foot: a case report and brief literature review.

    DOI :10.26355/eurrev_202204_28623
    OBJECTIVE:Despite advances in plastic and reconstructive surgery, repairing soft tissue defects of the foot remains a complex surgical challenge when conventional methods cannot cover defects. We presented a case in which a free flap was used for reconstruction and reviewed the literature. PATIENTS AND METHODS:A 75-year-old woman with an acral melanoma history had a large exophytic mass on her right foot. Using PubMed, we found that reconstructive options in the literature include local flaps, fascial flaps, muscle flaps, and free flaps. RESULTS:Melanoma recurred four times at the same site after complete excision of the compound nevi in the present case. Melan A, Vimentin (+), S-100 (+), and HMB-45 positivity were found in immunohistochemical staining and increased Ki-67 proliferation. The defects in soft tissue are repaired using a free anterolateral thigh perforator flap. No complications were raised in the patient. CONCLUSIONS:Foot melanoma is difficult to be resected because it necessitates a wide excision, which can result in large defects. The free flap, in our experience, can easily be performed while preserving function and improving cosmesis. This flap is an appealing option for concealing defects in the distal extremities.

    We report a 73-year-old male with recurrent amelanotic malignant melanoma of the left foot with in-transit metastases to the left thigh. In-transit metastatic melanoma can often represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for physicians. This patient was treated with talimogene laherparepvec injections (T-VEC; Imlygic) in the left inguinal and the left plantar region every two weeks for one year as oncolytic viral therapy for advanced non- operable malignant melanoma. He then received consistent follow-up including blood work and PET scans every four months, and he also required further lymph node surgical dissection. To date, our patient has survived 3 years and 11 months, which is 27 months longer than the esti- mated median survival of 1 year 8 months for patients diagnosed with in-transit metastatic melanoma.
