Abstract
We report a case of a 59-year-old Japanese man with a black tumor on his right sole with satellite lesions. We diagnosed it as malignant melanoma (pT4aN0M0, stage III) . In December, 1997 he received wide resection and excision of the right inguinal lymph nodes. 3 courses of DAV-Feron chemotherapy were performed. In August, 1991 there was repeated local recurrence of in-transit lesions. We did simple excision and performed chemotherapy. 4 years and 6 months after the operation, the metastases were limited to in-transit lesions and evidence of distant metastasis was not noted.
