Keywords:
animal type, melanoma, epithelioidAbstract
Animal-type melanomas are rare cutaneous neoplasms. These lesions are characterized by an intense, dark brown, black, or black-bluish pigmentation; the appearance is nodular, but they can also appear as patches. It can appear anywhere on the body, including genitals and mucous membranes, like the case we are presenting here, of a 41 year old patient with this diagnosis.
