Mary presented to the office earlier in the year with a large suspicious looking lesion to her foot. A biopsy confirmed Nodular Melanoma. Her treatment included surgical removal of the mass and referral to Oncology to rule out metastasis. Surgical pathology came back clean, indicating a complete resection of cancerous lesion and whole body CT scan continues to come back negative with each scan. Although cancerous lesions are not common to the foot, make sure to follow up with your Foot specialist or Dermatologist for any atypical appearing lesions.
