    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Primary malignant melanoma can present in rare forms.
    • Pedunculated presentation is uncommon for melanoma.

    Observation:

    • A case of a woman with a primary pedunculated malignant melanoma was observed.
    • The lesion exhibited erosion and bleeding, suggesting aggressive behavior.
    • Differential diagnoses included seborrheic keratosis, fibroepithelial papilloma, and pyogenic granuloma.

    Findings:

    • Tumor cells were confined to the pedunculated mass.
    • Metastasis to regional lymph nodes was confirmed at surgery.

    Implications:

    • This rare presentation can lead to diagnostic challenges.
    • Early metastasis highlights the aggressive potential of such lesions.
    • Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for pedunculated malignant melanoma.
