AB  - A  62-year-old  healthy  female  office  manager  with  fair  skin  visited  her  dermatologist  for  the  evaluation  of  a  recently  appearing  itchy  black  mole  on  her  left  thigh.  Upon  examination,  the  mole  was  approximately  8  mm  in  diameter  with  an  asymmetrical  shape,  irregular  borders,  black  and  brown  coloration,  and  a  flat  surface.  An  excisional  biopsy  with  1-cm  surgical  margins  was  performed  revealing  a  superficial  spreading  melanoma  of  0.6-mm  thickness  without  ulceration  or  evidence  of  rapid  cell  division.  There  was  no  disease  spread  beyond  the  primary  anatomic  site,  and  the  patient  was  followed  with  regular  examinations,  which  revealed  no  recurrence  or  spread  during  the  following  5  years.
