The Metastasizing Thin Cutaneous Melanoma
1989
Thin cutaneous melanomas can metastasize and be fatal. We present a case of thin cutaneous malignant melanoma without regression (tumour thickness 0.69 mm) and with metastases to the regional lymph nodes. The literature is reviewed. Patients with thin melanomas should be carefully followed for evidence of metastases irrespective of the actual thickness of the primary tumour.
