Author : Shinta Dewi Rahmadhani Soetojo, Muhammad David Perdana Putra, Shinta Andi Saraswati, Dian Pertiwi Habibie

Abstract :Melanoma is a malignant tumor arising from melanocytic cells, hence can occur anywhere where these cells are found. The most frequent type is cutaneous melanoma, ten percent of melanomas are detected by lymph node metastases with so-called “unknown primary” and are likely to develop in the lymph node from preexisting nodal nevi. The different subtypes of cutaneous melanoma can be distinguished clinically. However, these subtypes are not of prognostic significance itself, for example, a nodular or amelanotic melanoma might have a poorer prognosis compared to a superficial spreading melanoma, but this is most likely based on a higher tumor thickness because of a later diagnosis.
