“…3,4,6,35 A different pattern, however, was observed by one study based on data from a single medical center. 36 That study found that LMM was the most common histologic type counting for 56% of melanoma cases, whereas SSM ranked the second (29% of the cases). The above study had a similar percentage of SSM as this study, but its percentage for melanoma not otherwise specified was only 9%, much lower than that of this study ([50%).…”

“…[14][15][16] In an institutional analysis of the VAPAHCS Tumor Registry data from 2003 through 2013, LM accounted for 75.5% (237/314) of subtyped MIS cases and LMM for 46.2% (147/318) of invasive melanomas. Management of LM is complicated by its typical location on the head and neck in older individuals, in whom surgical options may be limited, and histologic difficulty in differentiating actinic melanocytic hyperplasia in chronically sun-damaged skin from true LM.…”

FUNDAMENTOS: A incidência do melanoma e a mortalidade pela doença aumentaram nos últimos 30 anos na população caucasiana. No Brasil, dados em municípios não-capitais são escassos, necessitando de estudos epidemiológicos. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar a incidência e classificar melanomas cutâneos em Blumenau de 1980 a 2009. MÉTODO: Foram coletadas informações de 1.002 exames histopatológicos de indivíduos de Blumenau, considerando sexo, idade, localização primária, tipo histológico, nível de invasão (Clark) e espessura tumoral (Breslow). Os coeficientes de incidência anuais brutos e ajustados foram calculados utilizandose o número de melanomas e a população estimada pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística entre 1980 e 2009. RESULTADOS: As taxas de incidência do melanoma atingiram 22,4 casos/100.000 habitantes/ano, 31,5 nas mulheres e 30,4 nos homens na taxa ajustada. As taxas de incidência padronizadas por década, faixa etária e sexo atingiram 141 casos em homens e 103 no sexo feminino por 100.000 habitantes/ano entre 65 a 69 anos. O melanoma disseminativo superficial aconteceu em 53% dos casos, seguido do melanoma nodular com 37%, e a principal localização foi no tronco (47%). Os diagnósticos precoces atingiram 62,5% com Breslow < 1 mm. CONCLUSÃO: A incidência do melanoma maligno aumentou em cinco vezes entre 1980 e 2009 e o diagnóstico precoce aumentou 151% como resultado da prevenção primária.
