A 25-year clinicopathological review of 19 patients with malignant melanoma of the hand is reported. There were 11 women (median age 73 years) and eight men (median age 70 years). Eleven tumours were subungual, six on the dorsum of the hand, and two had a palmar location. Seven tumours were acral lentiginous melanomas, six were superfical spreading melanomas, and five were of the nodular subtype. Eleven patients presented with localized disease (clinical stage I), four with local spread (clinical stage II), and four with regional lymph node metastases (clinical stage III). Nine of the patients have died of the disease, with a median survival time of 30 months (range, 10–84 months). The subungual melanomas were thicker and the patients were older at presentation compared with the non-subungual sites. Review of our patients emphasized the need for early diagnosis.
