Bob Marley died from a lentiginous skin melanoma on May 11, 1981.

Bob Marley's death was caused by acral lentiginous melanoma present under one of his toenails.

Acral lentiginous melanoma is observed on the palms, soles, under the nails and in the oral mucosa.

Unlike other forms of melanoma, acral lentiginous melanoma does not appear to be linked to sun exposure.

Typical signs of acral lentiginous melanoma include:

Zosteriform speckled lentiginous nevus is a skin lesion that may be the result of a potentially lethal mutation.

Miscellaneous unusual types: Mucosal lentiginous (oral and genital).

If caught early, acral lentiginous melanoma has a similar cure rate as the other types of superficial spreading melanoma.

A third type, acral lentiginous melanoma, is unrelated to sun exposure and also spreads superficially before it penetrates deeper into the skin.

Because of this characteristic feature, the adjective "lentiginous" is used to describe other skin lesions that similarly proliferate linearly within the basal cell layer.

Cutaneous findings in FACES syndrome include zosteriform speckled lentiginous nevi.

Acral lentiginous (palmar/plantar and subungual).

Acral lentiginous melanoma is a kind of lentiginous skin cancer skin melanoma.

Phakomatosis pigmentokeratotica is a cutaneous condition characterized by the combination of an organoid sebaceous nevus and speckled lentiginous nevus.

Whitlow usually refers to herpetic whitlow, though it can also refer to melanotic whitlow, which somewhat resembles acral lentiginous melanoma.

Lentigo maligna (also known as "Lentiginous melanoma on sun-damaged skin") is a melanoma in situ that consists of malignant cells but does not show invasive growth.

Nevus spilus (also known as speckled lentiginous nevus and zosteriform lentiginous nevus) is a skin lesion that presents as a light brown or tan macule, speckled with smaller, darker macules or papules.
