PY - 2019 T2 - The Color Atlas and Synopsis of Family Medicine, 3e AB - A 51-year-old woman noticed a rapidly growing black lesion on the upper arm (Figure 179-1) and presented to her doctor. A narrow-margin biopsy confirmed an 8-mm-thick nodular melanoma. She was referred to surgical oncology for sentinel lymph-node biopsy, and one node was positive. She underwent a course of chemotherapy, and though she remains disease-free 2 years later, she is carefully monitored for metastasis and new primary lesions by a multidisciplinary team including family medicine, dermatology, and medical and surgical oncology.
