    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Malignant melanoma is a significant skin cancer.
    • Effective primary management strategies are crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the simple management of primary malignant melanomas.
    • To outline the technique of excision using cautery or endothermy.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical excision of primary malignant melanomas.
    • Utilizing cautery (actual heat) or endothermy (electric cutting current).
    • Removal of a tissue disc including evident malignancy and surrounding normal skin.

    Main Results:

    • Simple and effective method for melanoma management.
    • Ensures removal of visible tumor with margins.

    Conclusions:

    • Cautery and endothermy offer a basic approach to melanoma excision.
    • This technique addresses the visible malignancy and surrounding tissue.
