Abstract

Spontaneous regression of malignant melanoma (in radial growth phase) is a common feature and its association with poor prognosis is a well known fact. Regression can be seen without clinical signs. In complete regression; melanoma cells in the epidermis was lost, but in the partial regression; melanoma cells can be found in the epidermis. In our case, a malignant melanoma which is developed on the basis of a nevus with regression features is presented.

Özet

Malign melanomda spontan regresyon (radial büyüme fazında) sıktır ve kötü prognozla ilişkili olduğu bilinmektedir. Klinik bulgu olmadan da regresyon görülebilir. Komplet regresyonda melanom hücreleri epidermisden de kaybolur ancak kısmi regresyonda epidermiste melanom hücreleri bulunabilir. Olgumuzda nevüs zemininden gelişmiş regresyon bulguları içeren malign melanom olgusu sunulmaktadır.
