Malignant Melanoma. Also the least common, fortunately.
Of the anticipated new cases of cancer for the year 2003 in the United States, malignant melanoma will account for 5% of malignancies in men and 4% in women, being the sixth most common cancer in men and the seventh in women.
In men, it is most common on the trunk. In women, it is most common on the back or legs.
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.

About 10 % of people who have had a primary melanoma will end up developing a second primary melanoma at some point in their life. Melanoma does not usually show symptoms but itching of a mole or lesion is reported by some patients. The signs of a melanoma are a mole that has changed. Change can be asymmetry of the lesion (one side does not match the other), Borders change (the edges look fuzzy or scalloped), Color change (mole has turned dark black, red, purple), and Difference (any mole that changes and looks different than before or different than your other moles). This is know as the A B C D 's of melanoma. Also melanoma can form on skin that has not previously had a mole associated with it.
