Abstract:
Immunochemotherapy combining dacarbazine with BCG is a possible therapeutic method for the adjuvant treatment of malignant melanomas. The routes of application of BCG, however, vary. As the case of a 61-year-old female shows, subcutaneous injection can lead to severe ulcerations, which respond to tuberculostatic therapy. Therefore scarifications seems to be preferable.
