Abstract

Replacing the tumor volume with an eventual fibrotic tissue, the histologic phenomenon of regression has been described to target cutaneous melanoma sometimes partially and less often completely. Regressive melanomas have been a source of debate in figuring out whether this correlates to a positive or a less favorable patient outcome. Our case from Syria presents a contribution to a good prognostic indicator of regression in a patient with superficial spreading melanoma and dysplastic nevi syndrome of Clark.
