Abstract

Acral lentiginous melanoma type is characterized by specific clinical and histologic features therefore it requires a special approach to diagnosis and therapy. c-KIT oncogene mutations are frequent in this tumor type accounting up to 23% of all this type melanoma cases. The presence of exons mutations in c-KIT gene indicates therapy of tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The clinical case of acral lentiginous melanoma with the analysis of the mutational status c-KIT 11th exon that is considered as one of the most significant sites, is presented. The functional role of mentioned substitutes was not described previously although tyrosine kinase inhibitors could be effective for such type melanoma patients. Number of mutations, which role in the activity of c-KIT receptor and therapy response have not been studied, is presented.
