Zusammenfassung:Background and Objectives This study aimed to evaluate treatment outcomes of acral melanoma (AM) based on the excision margin. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted for patients with primary AM, analyzing recurrence rates, local and in‐transit recurrence‐free survival (LITRFS), disease‐free survival (DFS), and melanoma‐specific survival (MSS). Results Data from 129 patients of AM were analyzed. In 53 patients with thin AM (thickness ≤1 mm), neither recurrence nor mortality occurred regardless of whether the excision margin was >1 cm or not. Seventy‐six patients had thick AM (thickness >1 mm), including 36 treated with a
