ABSTRACT

The case report of a 58 years black woman is presented. She went to the Surgery Service of Mbabane Government Hospital in Suaziland due to a pigmented and ulcerated injury in her right foot heel, where she had an excisional biopsy whose result was an invasive acral lentiginous melanoma. Later on she was evaluated in the Oncology Service and after carrying out the necessary complementary tests, the neoplasm was classified in stage IIC. The patient was referred to South Africa to receive treatment with immunomodulatory cytokines, stimulating factor of granulocytes and macrophages colonies or BRAF gene inhibitors.
