Article/Chapter Title: | Melanocytic neoplasms of the mucosa |
Abstract: | Mucosal melanomas (MMs) are rare, accounting for only 1-2 % of all melanomas [1, 2]. The age-adjusted incidence rate of MM in the period 1996-2000 was 2.2 per million in the USA (compared to 161.7 per million for cutaneous melanoma) [2]. In contrast to the rising incidence of cutaneous melanoma, the incidence of MM has remained relatively stable. © 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. All rights are reserved. |
