A subcutaneous tumor localized on the sole of the foot of a 25‐year‐old Japanese man was diagnosed as a malignant melanoma of the soft parts. We performed a wide local excision, elective lymph node dissection, and chemotherapy. Eight years after treatment, the patient is alive without local recurrence or metastasis.
