“…The distribution of the melanomata in our series was, on the whole, similar to other large series ( Table 5). The striking preponderance for lesions to occur on the lower leg in females, particularly in the younger age groups, (below the age of 40 years) was seen in our series and has been commented on by others (Clout, 1972;Petersen et al, 1962;White, 1959;Clark & MacDonald, 1953). Lesions on the foot and ankle in women in our series also showed quite a high incidence, but the prognosis of the two areas-leg, and ankle and foot, was markedly different.…”

“…There is ample agreement that melanomas on trunk and especially on back prefer the males, whereas those situated on extremities and especially on lower legs prefer the females [1,3,12,22,23,29].…”

“…3 The cumulative percentage survival rates were plotted down to curves for each parameter to be compared. The different values in question were submitted to the X2 test, the critical limits for y j ranging between 3.84 (p < 0.05) 6.63 (p < 0.01) and 10.83 (p <0,001).…”

1,322 melanoma patients in the clinical stage I were followed up for at least 8 years. The females clearly predominated (sex ratio f :m = 2.2:1). Trunk melanomas prevailed in males and extremity melanomas in females. The overall survival was strikingly better in females than in males. In 936 of the patients exhibiting ‘high risk’ melanomas, tumors located on the upper extremities and on the lower extremities gave the relatively best 8-year-survival rates (60.7% resp. 62.7%). 8-year-survival rates decreased if head (52.8%) and trunk locations (40.3%) were involved. As to these anatomic sites of the primary tumor, there were no statistically relevant differences between the survival rates of the females and the males. Thus, the anatomic site of malignant melanoma is especially important for the prognosis largely explaining the sex differences of the overall survival rates.
