Abstract
INFANTE CARBONELL, María Cristina; GONZALEZ CALZADILLA, María Esperanza; JAEN INFANTE, Lianne and DEL VALLE PINERA, Sergio. Cutaneous melanoma: some current considerations. MEDISAN [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.1, pp.146-164. ISSN 1029-3019.

The opportune and early finding of this clinical entity elevates the survival of affected people and it favors the therapeutic result; however, it is not diagnosed on time occasionally. At present it is already presented in younger individuals with 25-29 years old and with great probability of generating metastasis, which constitutes a concern in the health field. In this respect, it was decided to make this literature review, with the purpose of to update some elements on the topic and to make them known in the national and foreign medical community.
