Sumario:Soft tissue melanoma was first described by Enzinger in 1965 under the name of clear cell sarcoma. In 1983, Chung and Enzinger renamed it soft tissue melanoma due to its immunohistochemical similarities with melanoma. We here report the case of a 22-year old young man with this rare type of melanoma, presenting with molluscoid lesion on his ankle without any clinical sign of malignancy. Histology examination confirmed the diagnosis of soft tissue melanoma.
