    Abstract:

    A 46-year-old albino woman is described with a melanoma on the leg from which a punch biopsy specimen was inadvertently taken. In the reexcision specimen, two biopsy wounds were recognized that were filled with tumor. The initial level III lesion had to be subsequently reported as a deep level IV amelanotic melanoma with an increased thickness. It is emphasized that in places where the subcutaneous fat is absent, punch or incision biopsy may thwart proper secondary excision.

    Skin Cancer

    Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
    Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...
