Malignant melanoma is one of the most dangerous forms of cutaneous malignancies. It is classified as cutaneous melanoma and non-cutaneous melanoma based on the location of the lesion. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure is a predisposing factor for cutaneous melanoma, although in other forms such as mucous and anorectal malignant melanomas, ultraviolet radiation does not play a significant role. Human papilloma virus and human retroviral infections are commonly associated with non-cutaneous melanomas.
