Abstract

Melanoma is a highly malignant skin tumor with an increasing incidence in Asian Population. We had a Chinese man with multiple primary melanomas on the chest and head region. The lesions were having irregular boundaries, with variable depth, and the patient was free of systemic symptoms. The diagnosis was confirmed by the immune-histopathological examination. Lesions were surgically removed. Risk factors include age, white race, sun-exposed parts, family history, and multiple nevis
