Misdiagnosis of amelanotic melanoma is also common, particularly when it is located at the foot. We report here a 71-year-old male patient with a 17-year history of type 2 diabetes mellitus who presented with a small ulcer under his fifth metatarsal head, which was previously misdiagnosed as a diabetic foot ulcer
