ABSTRACT
We report a case of scalp melanoma that was found incidentally after the patient complained of pruritic lesions on his scalp. The melanoma was 13 mm in diameter and had a Breslow thickness of 0.25 mm. The incidence of melanoma has been on the rise, with a high incidence occurring in men on the head, neck, and trunk. This case stresses the need to thoroughly examine the entire scalp when performing total body screening examinations for skin cancer.
