Abstract

The melanoma is peculiar on account of its characteristic pigmentation. Little wonder that it featured in the museums of old [1]. Nowadays, curious cases appear in the literature. To be exemplified is its causation of acute aortic occlusion [2]. So is orbital recurrence after 42 years [3]. In this context, 2 cases came up with reference to characteristic neurotropic perineural invasion of cranial nerves and extension along cranial nerves to the central nervous system [4]. To such examples, there may be added the more mundane cases of finger melanoma among the Igbos of Nigeria [5] in whom the foot is almost exclusively involved [6].
