Abstract:
Amelioration of prognosis in cutaneous malignant melanomas essentially depends on early diagnosis which necessitates the knowledge of some risks and clinical signs of malignancy. The clinical and also histological items of lentigo maligna melanoma, superficial spreading melanoma, acro-lentiginous melanoma and nodular melanoma are referred in detail. Hints are given at the precursor lesions as well as the early signs of malignancy. For differential diagnosis, eight kinds of relatively frequent pigmented skin lesions are discussed.

01:19Pigmentation
The color of the skin is influenced by a number of pigments, including melanin, carotene, and hemoglobin. Recall that melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes, which are found scattered throughout the stratum basale of the epidermis. The melanin is transferred to the keratinocytes via melanosomes.
Melanin occurs in two primary forms: eumelanin that provides black and brown pigment and pheomelanin that provides red color. Dark-skinned individuals produce more melanin than those with pale...

01:30Skin 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.
