Differential diagnosis of malignant melanoma
Am Fam Physician.

Abstract
The incidence of malignant melanoma is rising. Early recognition and surgical treatment give the best chance for a cure. Since a variety of skin tumors and conditions may resemble melanoma, knowledge of the differential diagnosis and a systematic approach to the evaluation of a suspicious lesion are essential.
