Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) face a higher risk of secondary cancers. This case report details a patient developing both melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma after a CLL diagnosis, highlighting a rare occurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) exhibit an elevated risk for secondary primary cancers.
  • The occurrence of multiple distinct secondary malignancies in a single CLL patient remains undocumented.

Observation:

  • A 68-year-old female with a 5-year history of CLL presented with a left lower eyelid lesion.
  • Initial biopsy confirmed melanoma, which was surgically excised.
  • A subsequent pigmented lesion appeared in the same eyelid area six months later.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination revealed a superficial spreading melanoma.
  • A second biopsy confirmed an intraepithelial squamous cell carcinoma.
  • The squamous cell carcinoma was successfully treated with 5-fluorouracil 1% eyedrops.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the potential for CLL patients to develop diverse secondary skin cancers.
  • It emphasizes the importance of vigilant dermatological surveillance in this patient population.
  • Further research may elucidate specific risk factors or mechanisms linking CLL to multiple distinct malignancies.
