Paediatric Malignant Melanoma: A Rare Cytodiagnosis
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Childhood melanomas are rare tumours which occur before the onset of puberty. A very few cases have been documented in literature so far & the diagnosis requires high index of clinical suspicion. Here, we demonstrate a case of childhood melanoma in a 7 year old female child who presented with a nodular hyperpigmented lesion over the left knee joint. Clinical presentation & cytopathological findings raised a suspicion of malignant melanoma & the diagnosis was further confirmed on histopathological examination & immunohistochemistry. Keywords: Systemic lupus erythematosus, paediatric age group, autoimmune diseases, autoantibodies.
