1857 R. G. Mayne Expos. Lexicon Med. Sci. (1860) Melanocarcinoma, Med., Pathol. Term for black cancer; the same as Melanoma.
1922 J. Ewing Neoplastic Dis. (ed. 2) xliv. 872 The term ‘melanoma’ should be employed to emphasize the specific character of the tumor and its cells of origin. The possible origin from epidermal cells may be indicated by the term ‘melanocarcinoma’, and the sarcomatous character of other tumors is indicated as ‘melanosarcoma’.
1975 Brit. Jrnl. Obstetrics & Gynaecol. 82 75/2 Melanocarcinoma is the malignant neoplasm of the melanin producing cells—the melanocytes.
1989 Jrnl. Medicinal Chem. 32 21/1 This compound proved to be active on a wide spectrum of experimental tumors (L1210 leukemia, B16 melanocarcinoma, Lewis lung carcinoma).
