黑色素瘤目前是美国第五大最常见的癌症,最常发生在阳光照射增加的地区。比如手臂,腿,背或脸原发性皮肤黑素瘤的发病率每年都在增加,并且随着疾病的早期检测,治愈性治疗得到改善。原发性皮肤脐黑色素瘤极为罕见,全世界报道的病例多达46例。因此,关于源自脐部的肿瘤的治疗的文献有限.通过评估脐部等不常见的区域,可以提供更早的检测和可能的干预。我们介绍了一例罕见的病例,一例33岁的女性患有脐部原发性皮肤黑色素瘤,并通过广泛的局部切除术(WLE)和前哨淋巴结活检(SLNB)成功治疗。
Melanoma is currently the fifth most common cancer in the United States (US) and most often develop on areas that have increased sun exposure, such as the arms, legs, back or face. The incidence of primary cutaneous melanoma increases each year and curative treatment improves with earlier detection of disease. Primary cutaneous umbilical melanoma is extremely rare with as few as 46 cases reported worldwide. As a result, limited literature is available regarding the management of tumors originating in the umbilicus. By evaluating uncommon areas such as the umbilicus, earlier detection and possible intervention can be provided. We present a rare case of a 33-year-old female with a primary cutaneous melanoma of the umbilicus successfully treated with wide local excision (WLE) and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB).
