Clinical manifestations of different types of melanoma

Among surgical diseases, melanoma is something that many people have not heard of, but melanoma is a disease that can easily become malignant. Clinically, there are many types of melanoma. Next, let's take a look at the clinical manifestations of these melanomas .

(1) Freckle type accounts for 10% to 15% and is the least severe of the four types of malignant melanoma. This type of melanoma is more likely to occur in exposed areas such as the head, neck, and back of the hands. It is more common in people aged 60 to 70 and more common in women. Melanoma patients clinically present with larger, flat or slightly higher than the skin surface brown or brown lesions.

(2) Nodular melanoma is the most common type of malignant melanoma among the four types, accounting for about 12%. This type of melanoma is usually found in people around 50 years old, with a male-female ratio of 2:1. It is more common on the back. The clinical manifestation of melanoma is gray nodules with a pink tint. When the melanoma lesions continue to grow, their color turns blue-black, and they appear as purple-black jam-like domes or polyp-like masses. Vertical growth is its only growth mode. The course of melanoma progresses rapidly, usually lasting for several months to 1 year, and ulcers and lymph node metastasis occur earlier.

(3) Acromelanotic melanoma This type of melanoma mainly occurs on the palms, soles and under the nails. During the radiation growth phase, the lesions are brown, brown or black and do not protrude above the skin surface. If under the nail, irregular brown or brown stripes can be seen extending from the nail bed to the proximal end. These are all clinical manifestations of melanoma.

The above is a detailed description of the clinical manifestations of melanoma. I hope it can help everyone understand the knowledge of melanoma in this regard and cure melanoma in time. If you have other questions about melanoma, you can contact our online experts to answer your questions.
