Caption:
This photograph, made available by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), depicts a close view of a dermatology patient’s skin surface, revealing the presence of an asymmetrical, dark-brown pigmented lesion, which was diagnosed as melanoma. Note the lesion’s irregular border, heterogeneous coloration, and relatively large diameter, which included a hypopigmented halo, all features indicative of a possible melanomatous lesion.
