Multiple Primary Acral Lentiginous Melanomas (MPALM).

We present a rare case of a patient with multiple primary acral lentiginous melanomas of the foot. We would like to highlight the importance of whole-skin examination in all patients, even by the general practitioners, aiming the maximal early detection of acral lentiginous melanomas, considering their rapid progression, early metastatic spread and extremely poor prognosis. It can be extrapolated from current literature; however, that appropriate management of these patients, including staging work and surgical intervention, is to be determined by the individual characteristics of the melanoma and the patient's concomitant risk factors, if any.
