Y1 - 2013 N1 - T2 - Harrison's Hematology and Oncology, 2e AB - Pigmented lesions are among the most common findings on skin examination. The challenge is to distinguish cutaneous melanomas, which account for the overwhelming majority of deaths resulting from skin cancer, from the remainder, which with rare exceptions are benign. Cutaneous melanoma can occur in adults of all ages, even young individuals, and people of all colors; it is located on the skin, where it is visible; and it has distinct clinical features that make it detectable at a time when complete surgical excision is possible. Examples of malignant and benign pigmented lesions are shown in Fig. 33-1. SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/10/13 UR - hemonc.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1128356647 ER -
