Mucosal to cutaneous? Superficial spreading to nodular?

I've not seen statistics, except most with ocular never get cutaneous.  And most with multiple primaries get the same type.  I think getting a primary of a different type would have a higher likelihood than mucosal to cutaneous.  I've had many eye surgeons unrelated to melanoma and all have said the same thing.  They've all diagnosed ocular melanoma and none of those patients had had cutaneous prior.  I think in all my years on these bulletin boards I remember only a couple of people with both types.  I think superficial spreading and nodular or Lentigo maligna is rare (since less than 10% ever have more than one primary) but ocular accounts for maybe 4%? Of all melanomas?  Don't know the exact figures but somewhere in that neighborhood.  So rare and rarer.

When my father went in to have his primary nodular melanoma excised, the surgeon also removed two other suspicious spots, one of which turned out to be a superficial spreading melanoma. I know nothing about mucosal melanoma, though.
