| description | <p><strong>Foundation:</strong> malignant melanoma is the cause of most deaths due to cutaneous cancer and its prognosis depends greatly on its staging at the moment of the diagnosis.<br /><strong>Objective</strong>: to characterize histo-pathologically cutaneous malignant melanoma in the Cienfuegos Province. <br /><strong>Methods:</strong> retrospective descriptive study which included all the patients with the diagnosis of cutaneous malignant melanoma in the Cienfuegos Province between January 2000 to 2011. Clark ‘s variables , Breslow’ s index, mitotic index, age and sex were analyzed <br /><strong>Results:</strong> the predominant histological subtype is the superficial extensive melanoma, patients of the male sex predominated in ages from 50 to 69. A significant association between Clark’s level, mitotic index and Breslow’s index was shown. <br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Breslow’s index constitutes one of the prognosis factors of greater importance at present for the correct staging of the patient with cutaneous malignant melanoma.</p> |
