ABSTRACT
Melanomas affecting acral and mucosal sites have distinct features and are associated with poorer prognosis. Patients of color may be disproportionately affected. Herein we discuss six ethnically diverse cases of acral and mucosal melanoma (AMM). More data on clinical, genetic, and environmental features of AMM are needed, but thorough physical examination can reduce the burden of disease now.
