Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatology
  • Obstetrics

Background:

  • Melanoma is a rare neoplasia, but it is the most frequent cancer diagnosed during pregnancy.
  • Current understanding suggests pregnancy does not negatively impact melanoma prognosis.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of a pregnant woman who developed melanoma.
  • The pregnancy occurred concurrently with the onset and progression of the melanoma.
  • A healthy fetus was delivered at 32 weeks gestation.

Findings:

  • The presented case suggests that pregnancy may be a precipitating factor in melanoma development.
  • The newborn showed no signs of metastatic melanoma, indicating a low incidence of fetal involvement.

Implications:
