Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to every one !
I'm 25 yo Singapore male. I was diagnosed acral lentiginous melanoma in my left big toes in last month. I had hutchison sign (a black line) 3 years ago (so scared !!!). My pathology is :
Breslow thinkness : 1.5mm (T2a).
Clark : level 3.
Ulcreration : Absent.
Mitotic rate : possible up to 1/mm2.
Tumor infiltrating Lymphocytes : Present (non-brisk).
Tumor regression/ Microsatelites/ Lymphovascular invasion/ Neurotrospism : Absent.
Bone is free of tumor.
Sentinel lymph node biospy : no evidence of metastatic melanoma. ( one lymph node after mapping my lymph nodes).
*** My PET/CT : "Mild focal FDG uptake is seen in the proximal third of the shaft of the left fibula (SUVmax 2.4)".
=> My oncology doctor said to me : it's low SUV because my left leg had surgery and CT scan in this left leg wasn't found anything. He thinks i'm very good but i feel so bad to be positive.
My stage is IB (T2aN0M0). My follow-up is CT scan 6 months later, PET/CT in 1 year.
I found some infomation in internet said melanoma in nail prognonis is worse than nodular melanoma.
– Anyone melanoma in nail survivor and same PET/CT situation ?
– My Mitotic rate and Tumor infiltrating Lymphocytes is high risk to recurrence (local, distant, lymph nodes) ?.
Any help/ advice always appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
