Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Malignant melanoma is known for its tendency to metastasize to regional lymph nodes, among other sites. It is not the most common form of skin cancer (that would be basal cell carcinoma), nor is it always related to acute sun exposure or always arising in a pre-existing pigmented naevus. It is also not most common in the pre-pubertal age group.
