“…1 The site of involvement varies according to gender; in women it occurs mainly in the lower limbs and in men, more in the trunk. 3 The most important risk factors related to the development of melanoma are skin phototypes I and II, history of severe sunburns, light hair and eyes, presence of multiple melanocytic nevi, dysplastic or atypical nevi, development of ephelides, previous and familial history of melanoma. 1.4 The objective of this study was to understand the epidemiological and histopathological profile of primary cutaneous melanoma in the town of Criciuma, in a period of three years, and compare it to data from the literature.…”

“…12 Alguns estudos citam o melanoma nodular como o mais prevalente. 13,14 Com relação ao grau de invasão, a maioria dos tumores apresentava invasão além da camada basal: 53,1% contra 46,9% dos casos de melanoma in situ. Sortino-Rachou et al 15 e Fernandes et al 3 encontraram proporção menor de tumores diagnosticados in situ, de apenas 2,8% e 21,5%, respectivamente.…”
