Patient bares her dark sole
A middle-aged woman presents with a family history of melanoma and a tan patch on the bottom of her foot that she fears may be sinister.
Charmaine, a receptionist in her late 50s, presents to a clinic in Far North Queensland with a nine-month history of a slowly enlarging lesion on the sole of her right foot.
She has a strong family history of melanoma, with both parents affected in their 50s and 60s. She has had a large number of lesions excised over the years, but as yet no melanoma. She is very concerned and requests a biopsy.
