Akciğer İnvazyonu Ve İnguinal Bölgede Dev Kitle İle Prezente Olan Akral Melanom

Öz

Malign melanom, nadir görülen bir cilt kanseri türü olmasına rağmen cilt kanserlerine bağlı ölümlerin çoğunluğunu oluşturur. Ayaktaki melanomlar hem hasta hem de klinisyen tarafından önemsenmeyebilir ve sonrasında hasta metastatik lezyonlar ile prezente olabilir. Ayrıca bu yaralar basınç ülseri ile karıştırılabilir ve bu durum tanının gecikmesine neden olabilir. Uzun süre iyileşmeyen ayak yaralarında cilt biyopsisi yapılması gerektiği unutulmamalıdır. Biz bu yazıda; opere edilmesine rağmen ayağın aynı bölgesinde nüks eden, akciğer metastazı ve inguinal bölgede dev kitleye neden olan, akral melanomlu 84 yaşında bir kadın hastayı sunduk.

Acral Melanoma Presenting with Lung Invasion and a Giant Inguinal Mass

Öz

Although malignant melanoma is a rare type of skin cancer, it accounts for most skin cancer-related deaths. Foot lesions may be ignored by both patients and clinicians and could therefore lead to advanced disease. An acral melanoma may also be confused with a pressure ulcer and result in a late diagnosis. The need to perform a skin biopsy should therefore be considered when dealing with protracted wounds. In this report, we present the case of an 84-year-old female patient with malignant melanoma, which was diagnosed late, recurred in the same area following surgery, and caused lung metastasis and a giant inguinal mass.
