Article describes scin melanoma epidemiological, clinical and histopatological features in Mari El Republic.

Materials and methods. The retrospective analysis of 253 patients with first diagnosed skin melanoma is carried out. All patient were treated in Mari El Republic Oncological dispensary since 2003 to 2012 years.

Results. In Mari El republic we revealed the resistant tendency of skin melanoma incidence rate as well as in Russian Federation.

Skin melanoma we diagnosed more in women (63,2% cases), the correlation between women and men was 1,7:1. Skin melanoma was more diagnosted among urban population in 68,8% cases. Ioshkar-Ola city and Volzhsk town were in the lead. Patients of the fifth and sixth life decades were in 49,4% cases (50-59 years in 27,3%, 60-69 years in 22,1%). Able-bodied age people, including 58 men (62,4%) and 62 women (38,8%) were treated.

Skin melanoma in men was more frequently localized on the trunk (22,1%), especially on the back (15%). Skin melanoma in women was equally often localized on the trunk (20,2%) and lower extremities (20,2%).

According to patomorfological in 76,7% cases (194 patients) the tumor contained a pigment, and in 49,4% cases (125 patients) were diagnosed 3rd invasion level by Clark.

In 20,9% cases (53 patients) skin melanoma was classified as III-IV stage, that did not forecast successful treatment.

Conclusion. In Mari El Republic since 2003 to 2012 the resistance tendency of skin melanoma incidence rate is revealed. Frequency and structure of this pathology are characterized by geographical, age and sexual features. Skin melanoma mobidity in women is almost twice more, than in men. More often skin melanoma affects people in the 5-6th life decade, it is localized on trunk and the lower extremities. Mainly the pigmentary melanoma with the 3rd invasion level by Clark takes place, so this disease is late diagnosed.

So, according to our research skin melanoma must be valued as medical, social and economic problem for Mari El Republic.
