    Abstract

    Cutaneous malignant is generally regarded as a skin cancer of Caucasians. However, one subtype, acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM), has an equal distribution among all ethnic groups and is the variant most common in non-Caucasians. In its early stage it is difficult to recognize and, unless diagnosed early, has a very poor prognosis. Herein, we present 3 cases of ALM seen on Kauai in 1990.
