Abstract: Surgical therapy remains the primary and most effective intervention for the groin regional lymph node basin in melanoma. Accordingly, this study sought to present its parameters from a developing community. Of the 34 cases reviewed, the male/female ratio was equal, the 51-60 years age group preponderated as did left sided lesions. Moreover, the excised lesions varied from 2 to 13 cm (mean 7 cm). Whereas 25 patients were operated on at Enugu, the capital city of the Region, up to 9 other towns were involved, thereby indicating that a central laboratory benefits distant hospitals unlike the UK, debate on the issue.
