Cutaneous melanoma is an important disease entity for its potential fatality and its urgency of timely management. As tumour thickness is one of the most important prognostic factors and early recognition with definitive surgery provides the only chance of cure for cutaneous melanoma, health care workers are expected to be familiar with the early presentation of this malignant condition. The present study reviewed 32 patients with cutaneous melanoma in dermatology clinics of the Social Hygiene Service (SHS). It was found that the foot was the site of predilection (46.9%). Change in size and colour were the commonest presenting symptoms (84% and 44% respectively). Acral lentiginous melanoma was the commonest histological type (34.5%).
由於皮膚黑色素細胞瘤有潛在的病死風險以及需要迫切的適時處理，故本病十分重要。因腫瘤的厚 度為其中一個最重要的預後因素，而早期診斷及徹底切除為根治本病的唯一方法，醫務人員均望能 熟知本病的早期表現。本文對社會衛生科皮膚專科診所中32 例皮膚黑色素細胞瘤患者進行研究。 足部為最常見的發病部位(46.9%)。患處大小及顏色改變為最常見症狀(為84%及44%)。肢端雀斑 痣型為最常見的病理類型(34.5%)。
