    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Malignant melanoma during pregnancy may present with a higher risk of metastasis. Further research is needed due to the small patient group, but existing data suggest pregnancy negatively impacts melanoma outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Dermatology
    • Obstetrics

    Background:

    • Malignant melanoma is a serious skin cancer.
    • Pregnancy involves significant physiological changes.
    • The interaction between pregnancy and melanoma is not fully understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the characteristics and risk factors of malignant melanoma diagnosed during pregnancy.
    • To compare melanoma presentation in pregnant versus non-pregnant patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of twelve pregnant patients diagnosed with malignant melanoma.
    • Evaluation of histological criteria including tumor thickness and prognostic index.
    • Comparison with data from non-pregnant melanoma patients.

    Main Results:

    • Eleven patients were in stage I, one in stage II.
    • Pregnant patients showed a higher proportion of melanomas with intermediate and high risk of metastasis compared to non-pregnant patients.
    • No significant differences in melanoma localization or type were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Pregnant patients with melanoma may have a higher risk of metastasis.
    • The small sample size limits definitive conclusions.
    • Published data suggest pregnancy may negatively influence melanoma progression.
