Desmoplastic melanoma (DM) accounts for less than 4% of melanoma (M) and usually affects sun-damaged skin of elderly patients. It can arise ex novo or in association with other M subtypes. The diagnosis of DM is difficult because it lacks of specific clinical and histopathological features.The prognosis of DM is usually better than other cutaneous M, because DM has a higher tendency for local growth and a lower number of nodal metastases.

Abstract
Desmoplastic melanoma (DM) accounts for less than 4% of melanoma (M) and usually affects sun-damaged skin of elderly patients. It can arise ex novo or in association with other M subtypes. The diagnosis of DM is difficult because it lacks of specific clinical and histopathological features.The prognosis of DM is usually better than other cutaneous M, because DM has a higher tendency for local growth and a lower number of nodal metastases.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
