Abstract

Amelanotic melanoma (AM) is a rare form of melanoma which lacks visible pigment. it is difficult to establish certain clinical criteria because of its atypical clinical presentation and varied histopathological appearance. Amelanotic melanoma has poor prognosis. Here, we present a case of 23 year old female patient presented with amelanotic melanoma defined clinically as a non-pigmented lesion and histopathologically as a tumor lacking significant melanization.
