Abstract EN
Melanoma is a malignant tumor rarely being described in sub-Saharan Africa.
We reported an unusual and atypical clinical presentation.
It was a 59-year-old patient who was hospitalized for a monomelic black tumor evolving for 10 years.
Histopathological examination confirmed the melanocytic origin of this tumor.
Paraclinical assessment did not find any visceral metastasis.
A partial resection of the tumor was performed.
The patient left the hospital against medical consent due to lack of technical facilities.
The delay in the consultation and the lack of knowledge of melanoma by doctors and patients might contribute to the severity and the difficulties of its management.
