Malignant melanoma is rarely encountered in pigmented skin. Acral melanoma is the usual type seen in coloured skin. It can present as palmar, solar or subungual melanotic macules. In subungual location, the diagnosis may be delayed. We describe an adult female with acral malignant melanoma in whom the diagnostic delay led to spread of disease to regional lymph nodes.
