Presentation of regressed pedal melanoma as a groin mass

Wilson Onuigbo*, Christian Ezidiegwu and Aloysius Aghaji

Malignant melanoma is well known for its unusual manifestations. Now, it has been proposed in the UK that the establishment of a histopathology data pool is useful in epidemiological analysis. Therefore, this paper illustrates how such a pool subsisting in a developing community could throw light on the presentation in the groin of the melanoma patient. It had arisen in the foot. Such case reports are necessary, especially in the developing communities. For example, a wedge from the abdominal wall of a 8-year-old girl led to the discovery for the first time of the human living Paragonimus uterobilateralis.
