Background Although the histopathological subtype of melanoma has not been clearly proven to carry independent prognostic significance, acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) seems to confer a poorer prognosis mainly because disease is often more advanced at the time of diagnosis. Objectives To investigate the distinctive epidemiological and clinical characteristics of ALM, a peculiar histological entity, and to identify prognostic factors. Methods We performed a register-based review of cases from a single large referral centre, the University Hospital Department of Dermatology, Lyons, France. We reviewed patient demographics, the initial presentation of the lesion, and clinical outcome. ALM-specific and disease-free survival were estimated using the Kaplan Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. A Cox model was used to identify prognostic factors.

It has been demonstrated to be highly specific for acral melanoma, and its presence must be considered a warning sign of melanoma. However, rare cases of benign acral melanocytic nevus can exhibit the PRP, as in the edge of the compound melanocytic nevus shown in Figure 1A. The acral blue nevus (Figure 1B) usually shows a bluish, quite homogeneous pigmentation involving the ridges. Ethnic pigmentation clinically presents as pigmented macules with a typical PRP on the palms and soles (Figure 2A). The multiplicity, bilateral location, and chronicity of the lesions are suggestive of ethnic-type pigmentation. The presentation is similar in Laugier-Hunziker or Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. Ectasic papillary capillaries of acral angioma present as regular red-blue globules along the ridges (Figure 2B). Repetitive microtrauma can cause extravasation of erythrocytes in the cornified layer, with subsequent misleading globular reddish brown pigmentation on the ridges, as seen in Figure 3A, which shows a posttraumatic purpura due to the friction of the fifth finger caused by regular use of the computer mouse. The PRP was also found in subcorneal hematoma. The lesion appears as well-demarcated roundish macule, with reddish brown pigmentation along the ridges (Figure 3B). Deposit of exogenous pigmentation on the ridges, especially in areas where the stratum corneum is thicker, can also simulate melanoma, as shown in Figure 4,withtheuse of a self-tanning preparation by a woman with localized palmar hyperkeratosis.
