Primary cutaneous melanoma of the scalp: Patterns of recurrence

Patients with primary melanoma of the scalp have been reported to have worse disease‐related outcomes compared with other anatomical regions. There are few studies in the literature specifically addressing recurrence patterns and treatment outcomes for primary scalp melanoma as a discrete anatomical sub‐region. We sought to identify key features adversely influencing disease control and survival and to clarify the role of resection plane, margin, and method of reconstruction in the management of this disease process.
