A member asked:
Can it be nodular melanoma if it is not elevated?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not usually: Melanomas are distinguished by their growth patterns and most nodular melanomas are raised but not always pigmented. The basic types of melanoma include: superficial spreading, lentigo maligna, nodular, and acral lentiginous.

Yes: The melanoma appearance under the microscope is why it is called nodular.
