Dermascope image of malignant melanoma on the back of a 67 year old male patient. Melanoma is a form of skin cancer that arises from melanocytes, the cells that produce melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. The main cause of melanoma is exposure to ultraviolet radiation in sunlight. It is an aggressive cancer that often spreads (metastasizes) to other parts of the body. Treatment is with surgical excision of the melanoma. The melanoma measures 1.3mm on the Breslow Index (depth from skin surface).
