Low level of awareness among general practitioners – the reason for the late stages of superficial spreading melanoma of the skin

The article describes the clinical picture of surface-spreading melanoma – the most common form of pigmented tumor. Despite the fact that at an early stage this form of tumor has pronounced clinical signs, polyclinic doctors can not diagnose it in a timely manner – in the phase of horizontal growth....

description The article describes the clinical picture of surface-spreading melanoma – the most common form of pigmented tumor. Despite the fact that at an early stage this form of tumor has pronounced clinical signs, polyclinic doctors can not diagnose it in a timely manner – in the phase of horizontal growth. General practitioners mistakenly believe that melanoma occurs as a result of trauma to a benign nevus, while Clark in 1969 established that most melanomas occur on unaltered skin and go through a long phase of superficial growth. It is concluded that increasing the level of knowledge of polyclinic doctors about the early symptoms of surface-spreading melanoma will contribute to the timely diagnosis of the tumor and reduce mortality from this disease. A significant help in the early diagnosis of melanomas can be provided by memos with color photos of surface-spreading melanoma in the horizontal growth phase, which should be provided to each polyclinic doctor. The article presents clinical cases and photos of surface-spreading melanoma in the early stage of development – in the phase of horizontal growth.
