The authors present the case of a patient with a pigmented tumoural lesion on the left shoulder clinically thought to represent nodular malignant melanoma, but whose histopathology revealed a pigmented form of eccrine poroma. [revista.spdv.com.pt]
When the two mutations were present together, one presented with a high frequency and the other with a low frequency (15). [clinicaldermatology.eu]

He began his condition 5 years ago with a small nevus, which has been adding occasional bleeding and pain for 3 years, with progressive growth to the present date. He mentions faster growth after his last pregnancy. [asclepiusopen.com]
Patient gave history of a rapid increase in the size of the lesions, loss of appetite, and significant loss of weight since 2 months and a dull aching chest pain since 1 month. [amhsjournal.org]
He denied any significant pain or neurological symptoms. The patient reported additional symptoms of fatigue and anorexia but denied any significant weight loss. [austinpublishinggroup.com]
For example, if you have pain, there are effective treatments for this. General practitioners, specialists and palliative care teams in hospitals all play important roles in helping people with cancer. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]
The patient complained of intermittent shooting pain radiating from the area. He complained also of fatigue, night sweats, fever, and an unexpected 30 lb weight loss during the preceding 8 months. [escholarship.org]

Pigmented Tumor
Because much of the pigmentation of such lesions is often the result of blood rather than melanin, the differential diagnosis may be between a pigmented tumor, such as NM, or a vascular neoplasm [5]. [escholarship.org]

Suggestibility
Our study suggests that important cytometric differences exist between Spitz nevi and nodular melanoma, and that these could be exploited to develop cytometry into an adjunctive clinical technique. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It is fundamental, therefore, to apply the ABCDE criteria with the help of dermatoscopy and biopsy in highly suggestive cases [9,10]. [asclepiusopen.com]
described a new dermoscopic predictor of nodular melanoma, namely, the presence of blue and black color within the lesion. [10] Blue-black color is suggested to reflect the combination of pigment localized in the mid-deep dermis (blue) and the epidermis [amhsjournal.org]

Degree of lymphocytic infiltration, which represents reaction by the patient’s immunologic defense system, may correlate with the level of invasion and prognosis. [msdmanuals.com]

Prognosis
Nodular malignant melanoma accounts for 20% of melanocytic malignant tumors and is associated with a relatively poor prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

If you have melanoma skin cancer, you may have questions about your prognosis. A prognosis is the doctor’s best estimate of how cancer will affect someone and how it will respond to treatment. Prognosis and survival depend on many factors. [cancer.ca]
Since NM tends to grow in depth more quickly than it does in width, and can occur in a place that did not have a previous lesion, the prognosis is often worse because it takes longer for a person to be aware of the changes. [en.wikipedia.org]
Polypoid melanoma has a rapid progression and a poor prognosis.3 Polypoid melanoma involving the skin primarily affects the back and has a 5-year survival rate of 32% to 42%.4 Poor prognosis has been attributed to the high risk for vascular embolization [mdedge.com]

Preventing melanoma Melanoma is not always preventable, but you can reduce your chances of developing it by avoiding getting sunburned (even going pink in the sun). [nhs.uk]
Secondary prevention with early detection of melanoma saves lives. Educating the public and health professionals to recognise melanoma early is crucial. [patient.info]
Increased use of sun protection will help prevent skin cancer and melanoma at any age. All skin types can be damaged by exposure to UV radiation. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]
