title: [Controversial aspects of stage I skin melanomas].
abstract: Melanoma is still the most frequent cause of death for diseases arising in the skin. The mortality rate is approximately 25%, tumor thickness, sex and localization being the most important prognostic factors. It is still unclear whether the margin of excision, type of anaesthesia and the pattern of follow-up should be taken into consideration in relation to the individual prognostic groups.
