    Summary

    Acral lentiginous melanoma, a rare skin cancer, primarily affects the palms and soles. This study highlights its commonality in Black individuals and a concerningly low 11% three-year survival rate.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) is a distinct variant of malignant melanoma.
    • It is characterized by a slow radial growth phase preceding vertical invasion.
    • ALM is the most common melanoma subtype in individuals with darker skin tones.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical and pathological features of ALM on the palms and soles.
    • To assess the prevalence of ALM in different racial groups.
    • To determine the survival rates associated with ALM.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 35 cases of ALM affecting the palms and soles.
    • Analysis of clinical presentation and pathological findings.
    • Survival data analysis.

    Main Results:

    • Acral lentiginous melanoma was found to be the most frequent melanoma type in Black patients, comprising two-thirds of the study cohort.
    • The average three-year survival rate for patients with ALM was 11%.
    • The study analyzed specific clinical and pathological characteristics of ALM on palmar and plantar surfaces.

    Conclusions:

    • Acral lentiginous melanoma is a significant subtype of melanoma, particularly in Black populations.
    • The low survival rate underscores the need for early detection and improved treatment strategies for ALM.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the unique biology and optimize management of ALM.
