## Abstract A โdivergent pathwayโ model for the development of cutaneous melanoma has been proposed. The model hypothesizes that melanomas occurring in people with a low tendency to develop nevi will, on average, arise more commonly on habitually sunโexposed body sites such as the head and neck. In
