A 21-year-old woman presents with a 3-month history of a black mole on her right calf. She tells you that the lesion is enlarging and expanding. It began to itch about 3 weeks ago, and it has bled 2 times. She thinks that there may have been a mole near the same spot previously, but she is not certain. Her general health is good; there is no history of chronic illness, hospitalizations, or surgeries. She works as a professional model for a large advertisement agency. She does not take any prescription medication; she does not use tobacco, alcohol, or recreational drugs. Although she has dark hair, she has a fair skin, and she says that she usually burns with even short sun exposure. She does occasionally use a tanning booth prior to modeling events and vacations. There is no family history of skin cancer. VS stable, she looks anxious, but she is otherwise well.
There is a dark brown-black nodule on the right calf 1 cm in diameter.
On the surface of the nodule, there is a tiny area of crusting. There are no hairs. The nodule is asymmetrical, and its border is sharply demarcated; the color is uniform, and the elevation is regular. There is a narrow (1-2 mm) rim of erythema around most of the nodule. She has a sprinkling (about 25-30 in all) of melanocytic nevi on her trunk and legs. There is no significant local or distal lymphadenopathy. The liver is not palpable. The remainder of the physical examination is unremarkable.
