Authors assessed the incidence of skin melanoma during outpatient consultations at the Consultation and Diagnostic Center of the Main Military Clinical Hospital named after academician N.N. Burdenko. During the period from 2019 to 2020, the authors diagnosed 68 patients with skin melanoma with stages ranging as follows: in situ ― 3 (4.4%) cases, stage IA ― 11 (16.2%) cases, IB ― 13 (19.1%) cases, IIA ― 11 (16.2%) cases, IIB ― 6 (8.8%) cases, IIC ― 9 (13.2%) cases, IIIA ― 3 (4.4%) cases, IIIB ― 4 (5.9%) cases, IIIC ― 3 (4.4%) cases, IV ― 5 (7.4%) cases. The necessity to apply the knowledge about the clinical and dermoscopic features of this malignant disease to diagnose skin melanoma, as well as exceptional prognostic significance of early detection of skin melanoma, were demonstrated.

The occurrence of metastatic tumors in the orofacial region is rare and may represent the first clinical manifestation of occult malignant disease. An orofacial lesion diagnosed as a metastatic tumor from a renal cell carcinoma in a 68-year-old man is reported. This metastatic tumor caused significant facial asymmetry involving the parotid gland and mandible regions, and the patient died four months after diagnosis. Here, we discuss the clinical aspects, the diagnostic approach, and the importance of early diagnosis to obtain a better response to treatment and provide longer survival time.
