ID#: 13429
Caption:
This image depicts a patient’s left big toe from an inferior view, revealing a lesion involving the toe’s inferior and lateral surfaces, and if you look at PHIL 13427, you’ll see that it involves the nail bed as well. This lesion was subsequently diagnosed as acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM). It is important to note the location of this lesion, its irregularly demarcated margins, the involvement of the nail bed, and the presence of what appears to be Hutchinson’s sign, all of which are characteristics that should inspire suspicions as to its classification.
