Desmoplastic malignant melanoma presenting as an erythematous nodule tumor.
Desmoplastic malignant melanoma is an uncommon neoplasm that presents both as a clinical and diagnostic challenge. Prognosis is frequently adversely affected by misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis of this tumor, which is often amelanotic. We report a case of an amelanotic desmoplastic malignant melanoma that presented as an erythematous nodular tumor.
