Melanoma - Signs and Symptoms

Melanoma - Signs and Symptoms: "Melanoma begins in cells called melanocytes, which are pigment-producing cells. When melanoma starts in the skin, the disease is called cutaneous melanoma. Melanoma also may occur in the eye, a condition called ocular melanoma or intraocular melanoma. Rarely, melanoma may arise in the meninges, the digestive tract, lymph nodes or other areas where melanocytes are found."
