Abstract
In a retrospective study of 125 primary cutaneous malignant melanomas of the foot treated from 1949-1977 the prognostic importantce of various histological and clinical factors was observed. Clinical stage, location of tumor on the foot, level of invasion, tumor thickness, mitotic rate and presence of ulceration correlated well with survival, while sex and histological type did not. A histological transition was found between the superficial spreading type and the acral lentiginous type, indicating a close biological relationship between the 2 types of melanoma.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
