Desmoplastic melanoma of the lower lip: A case report

Abstract

Desmoplastic melanoma (DM) is a rare form of malignant melanoma. DMs may present with a non-specific appearance which can make diagnosis difficult. Surgical excision with wide margins is the preferred treatment. DMs tend to be locally aggressive and adjuvant radiotherapy may improve local control of disease.
