“…Dermoscopy has proved to be a useful complementary tool in the definitive diagnosis of pigmented lesions in different areas of the body, including those with challenging anatomy [22,23]. Altamura et al [24] performed a retrospective study in which they analyzed the dermoscopic features of acral melanoma and found that it presents unique patterns due to the unique anatomy of glabrous areas.…”

Melanoma affecting glabrous skin is a challenging entity that needs to be managed by an interdisciplinary team of dermatologists, oncologists, and surgeons. The thin subcutaneous layer of glabrous skin, which speeds up its metastatic spread, is one of the key elements that contributes to the aggressiveness of this form of cutaneous cancer when identified in this anatomical region. Acral lentiginous melanoma is a rare melanocytic malignancy that is usually associated with ominous outcomes, especially in those with dark skin. Moreover, more extensive research is needed to elucidate the puzzle of molecular drivers and their relationship with thermal injury. We reported our experience in order to highlight the value of timely diagnosis and treatment.

“…Skin tumors in the external ear appear to be more frequent in male patients and tend to have a worse prognosis compared to other locations on the body. The most prevalent neoplasms in this location are squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma followed by melanoma [8]. In addition, the ear has a characteristic complex topography that makes it very difficult to perform surgical and frozen section procedures.…”

We present the case of a 73-year-old male patient with a collision tumor in the right ear, consisting of a basal cell carcinoma and melanoma in situ. He was managed with Mohs micrographic surgery combining paraffin-embedded sections and frozen sections. Multiple surgical stages were required to obtain tumor-free margins. The surgical defect was reconstructed by plastic surgery, achieving the preservation of the ear. The technique of combining two processing sections is useful in the treatment of the collision of basal cell carcinoma with malignant melanoma.
