Though it is much less common that other skin cancers, malignant melanoma is much more dangerous unless it is found in the early stages; however, even the smallest lesion (mole or discoloration) may already be malignant. Seventy-five percent of all skin cancer deaths are due to malignant melanoma, which in 2012 totaled 55,000 deaths.
