Abstract

Acral melanoma comprises a poorly characterized and distinct type of melanoma, in terms of differing roles of UVR, molecular substrate, distribution among all ethnicities, and poor prognosis. Haugh et al. explore clinical, histological, and molecular aspects of acral melanomas and provide insights into the complexity of these tumors.
