    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Desmoplastic malignant melanoma (DMM) is a rare subtype of melanoma.
    • It predominantly affects elderly individuals and often presents on sun-exposed skin.
    • Diagnosis can be challenging due to its distinct histopathological features.

    Observation:

    • A case of desmoplastic malignant melanoma of the cheek is presented.
    • This brings the total number of reported cases to 15.
    • The patient's clinicopathological features were meticulously documented.

    Findings:

    • The study discusses the specific clinicopathological features observed in this case of cheek DMM.
    • Analysis of the tumor's presentation, growth pattern, and cellular morphology is included.
    • Treatment strategies employed for this patient are detailed.

    Implications:

    • This case contributes to the limited understanding of desmoplastic malignant melanoma.
    • Further research into DMM's pathogenesis and optimal treatment is warranted.
    • Increased awareness may improve early diagnosis and patient outcomes for this rare melanoma subtype.
