Diagnosis of Warning Signs for Malignant Melanoma
Mr. J, age 42, is a construction worker in Las Vegas. He recently noticed that a mole on his face
seemed to be getting larger and darker. At first he did not worry because he was in the sun a lot
and assumed the change may have been caused by sunburn. After a month, not only was the
mole larger and darker, but it appeared to be “bumpy.” His doctor diagnosed a malignant
melanoma skin cancer following biopsy of the nevus. Mr. J reports pain in his right shin that does
not go away when he puts his feet up or sleeps.
Discussion Questions
Relate Mr. J’s skin changes to the warning signs for malignant melanoma.
Discuss the normal progression of this malignancy.
