Two malignant melanomas in skin and tonsil during consecutive pregnancies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 June 2007
Abstract
A patient is described with two primary malignant melanomas which developed during consecutive pregnancies four years apart. The first melanoma was of the cutaneous nodular type located on the arm. The second, of the superficial spreading type, was located in the oral mucosa near the right tonsil. The influence of pregnancy on the development and outcome of malignant melanomas is discussed, and the risk of a subsequent pregnancy is emphasised.
