Myxoid melanoma of the skin

We report a case of cutaneous myxoid melanoma in a 61-year-old man. Histologically, the tumor, which showed an adjacent intraepidermal proliferation of atypical melanocytes, was composed of spindle-shaped and epithelioid cells with atypical nuclei, arranged in lobules and embedded in a prominent myxoid stroma. Primary cutaneous myxoid melanoma is rare: we found only one other example in the literature.
