Abstract:
:Malignant melanomas are the most common skin cancer in the pediatric population. Melanoma incidence is extremely low in infants, and metastatic disease is even less common. We present the case of an 11-month-old girl who presented with a non-pigmented lesion that progressed to an ulcerated lesion. Pathology was found to be Spitzoid melanoma of 7.6-mm thickness. Micrometastases were found on examination of the sentinel lymph node. The family chose expectant observation following the excision procedure. A pediatric melanoma registry may be helpful in developing future analyses of incidence in survival in this specialized population.
