Abstract
It has been hypothesized that establishing a histopathology data pool is useful in epidemiology research. Such a pool was established among the Igbos, who constitutes one of the three largest Ethnic Groups in Nigeria, West Africa. In an earlier personal series based on the 1970 to 1974 cohort, the regional distribution of 21 cases of melanoma was 17 (81%) in the foot, one each in the eye and conjunctiva, the remaining two being in the groin. Since that report, it is now possible for the cohort to be analysed up to the year 2000. Curiously, only 2 cases have appeared in the female finger. They constitute the substance of the present paper.
