Abstract

A 48-year-old man presented with a tumor measuring 8 × 8 mm on the right forehead, which he noted 4 months before visiting our department. Histopathological findings indicated a cystic tumor. The tumor cells had abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm and prominent round vesicular nuclei. On immunohistochemical analysis, the cells were positive for S-100 protein, Melan-A, and HMB-45. The findings were diagnostic of rhabdoid melanoma. No other lesions were found on additional examinations, including positron emission tomography-computed tomography. To our knowledge, this is the 13th case of primary cutaneous rhabdoid melanoma reported to date.[Skin Cancer (Japan) 2017 ; 32 : 285-289]
