Patients with multiple atypical moles have a higher risk of developing a second primary melanoma. Thorough whole-body skin examinations are crucial for early detection of synchronous melanomas.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • A small percentage of melanoma patients develop a second primary melanoma.
  • Multiple atypical moles are a known risk factor for melanoma.

Observation:

  • Two male patients with multiple atypical nevi were diagnosed with primary multiple synchronous melanomas.
  • The second melanoma in each case was detected during the first follow-up, three months after the initial diagnosis.
  • Clinician and patient focus on the primary lesion may have delayed the detection of the secondary melanoma.

Findings:

  • Synchronous multiple melanomas can be missed during initial examination.
  • Delayed diagnosis necessitates further surgical intervention and patient discomfort.

Implications:

  • Emphasizes the importance of comprehensive whole-body skin screening for melanoma patients, especially those with multiple atypical moles.
  • Highlights the need for heightened clinical vigilance to identify synchronous melanomas early.
  • Suggests that a systematic examination protocol can improve detection rates and patient outcomes.
