Impact of scalp location on survival in head and neck melanoma: A retrospective cohort study
2017, Journal of the American Academy of DermatologyCitation Excerpt :Therefore, scalp melanoma appears to be a distinct subset of melanomas requiring special clinical consideration, as proposed by Terakedis et al.21 Our findings are similar to other authors' findings of scalp melanoma 5-year MSS ranging from 59% to 81%, and up to 2.4 times the melanoma mortality risk compared with other CHNM on univariate analyses.9,13,16,22 Hoersch et al8 and Fisher4 reported no worse survival for scalp melanoma compared with other CHNM on univariate analysis.

2014, Journal of the American Academy of DermatologyCitation Excerpt :Most series include patients with all CHNM, and therefore, tumor characteristics and patterns of failure specific to scalp melanoma are not typically described. However, Shumante et al15 published an analysis of 95 patients treated for scalp melanoma between 1976 and 1985. Similar to our patient population, 13% had ulcerated tumors and 17% had LN involvement.
