Caption:
This photograph, produced by the Skin Cancer Foundation, and made available by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), depicts a close view of a dermatology patient’s skin surface, revealing the presence of brown pigmented lesion, which was diagnosed as melanoma. This lesion exhibited a heterogeneous, mottled pigmentation, ranging from light tan, to dark brown, and is very asymmetrical, with a highly irregular border. All these characteristics should raise the suspicions of a qualified dermatologist, as to the melanomatous nature of this lesion. Use of this image requires acknowledgement that NCI is the image source, as well as the inclusion of the website, www.cancer.gov.
