There are three major type of malignant melanoma which differ in their mode of onset, course; lentigo maligna melanoma, superficial spreading malignant melanoma and nodular malignant melanoma. Malignant melanoma may arise on apparently normal skin, in a junction nevus, rarely in a compound nevus and extremely rarely in an intradermal nevus.
We presented a case of malignant melanoma arising from compound nevus in 51 year old male patient. Ulcerated verrucous walnut sized brown-black tumor mass was noticed on the posterolateral surface of right foot.
There were no palpable lymph nodes in whole body.
Tumor cells were epithelioid type and lie in irregularly alveolar formation histologically. There were also numerous nevus cells in dermis and nevus cell nest in lower epidermis with tumor cells.
Surgical excision of tumor mass and skin graft was performed.
