Abstract
AbstractMalignant melanoma is an uncommon condition in Indian and dark-skinned individuals. Additionally, it is associated with lifetime recurrences and poor prognosis. Its presence on the trunk poses a diagnostic challenge as it can simulate various skin lesions. Furthermore, it raises diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in pregnancy and lactation. Early recognition and appropriate treatment can reduce adverse events in the mother and the baby. Here, we are reporting a case of a 33-year-old lactating mother who presented with a solitary, rapidly growing nodule on the abdomen. Nodular malignant melanoma was diagnosed on further evaluation with histopathology and immunohistochemistry.
