Basing on 18 observations, histological features of malignant melanomas on the soles and the terminal phalanges of the toes were revealed and described in detail. A specific character of melanomas with such localization is evident from the histological pattern and clinical manifestations. It is suggested to distinguish the described acral lentiginous melanoma as a separate clinico-morphologic form of melanoma.
