It is estimated that atypical and hypomelanotic melanomas may account for up to 20% of all melanomas.[2] Confusion of amelanotic melanomas with other benign lesions often leads to diagnostic delay and worse prognosis. Subtypes including nodular melanoma, desmoplastic melanoma, and acral lentiginous melanoma are often diagnosed when thicker, in part because of their atypical features.[2] Improving the diagnostic rates of unusual presentations of melanoma, which remain a diagnostic challenge, can reduce mortality. The rate of early detection of superficial spreading melanomas has improved, with a reduction in the median tumour thickness and in melanoma mortality.[3] There is, however, a stable to increased rate of thick melanomas.
