Abstract

Metastatic malignant melanoma is an aggressive rare skin cancer with fatal outcomes. Sole of the foot is often a lately identified site and misdiagnosed with other skin pathologies. We present a middle-aged male diagnosed with malignant melanoma of sole of the foot with extensive distant metastasis. He presented to the hospital with the complaints of enlarged inguinal lymph node. He was unaware of the lesion present on sole of the foot till it was diagnosed. Educational activities for health professionals and awareness programs for public are present day′s need for identification of this disease in its early stage to enhance the possibilities of cure.
