Abstract
Rationale: Acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) often lacks the typical signs of malignant melanoma. Due to its uncommon locations and atypical clinical features, ALM is frequently misdiagnosed, resulting in poor prognosis.
Patient Concerns: A 78-year-old female presented to our center with two ulcers on her right foot. The initial diagnosis was diabetic foot ulcer. However, the ulcers did not improve after two weeks of treatment.
Diagnoses: An incisional biopsy of the lesion revealed malignant melanoma. Interventions: The patient underwent wide excision, skin grafting, and biotherapy.
