Abstract
Cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) of the breast may be classified in two categories as primary and metastatic lesions. CMM represents less than 5% of all malignant melanomas (MM). Clinical findings and diagnostic tools are similar to other MM developed in various areas of skin. Treatment should provide adequate surgical border with wide local excision. Since the presence of lymph node metastasis is a very crucial prognostic factor, lymph node status should also be evaluated. In this article, we presented a 40 year old female patient with cutaneous MM of the breast, who presented with a congenital, blue colored, raised nevus, over the right breast lower lateral quadrant periareolar area, which has been growing in recent years with color darkening and nonhealing ulcer development. We aimed to present the clinical, radiologic, pathologic findings and treatment modalities of CMM of the breast with literature review.
