Abstract:
We present a woman who was referred to our plastic surgery unit with a suspected squamous cell carcinoma following a 3-year history of an enlarging mass on her thigh. Surprisingly, histopathological assessment confirmed the diagnosis of nodular malignant melanoma measuring 77×77×54 mm with a Breslow thickness of 52 mm, making it the largest recorded lower limb primary cutaneous malignant melanoma in the UK.
