Abstract excerpt

Childhood and adolescent melanoma is rare, accounting for only 1.3% for all cases of cancer in patients under the age of 20 years. However, in 15-19 year olds, melanoma accounts for up to 7% of all cancers. Review of reported cases in this age group reveals that predisposing 'paediatric' conditions such as a giant congenital melanocytic naevi or xeroderma pigmentosum are rarely present. Furthermore, inactivating...
