A 10-year recurrence-free natural course of high-risk stage II cutaneous melanoma: A case report
The presented case provides several key takeaways. First, from a dermatological standpoint, clinicians must expect the unexpected and should look for explanations. Second, from a reconstructive view, complex cases are rarely linear-staged revisions, and setbacks are integral to surgical success. Finally, from a human perspective, sincere empathy, and emotional intelligence are indispensable.
