Melanoma is a malignant melanocytic neoplasm with high mortality rate, and
steadily and universally increasing incidence rates. Polypoid melanoma is
considered an exophytic variant of the nodular subtype. The incidence of
polypoid melanoma is extremely variable, most likely because of the different
criteria used for its characterization. We presented a rare case of polypoid
melanoma and superficial spreading melanoma in the same lesion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
