METASTATIC MALIGNANT-MELANOMA IN A PATIEN T WITH NON-HODGKINS-LYMPHOMA

Secondary cutaneous neoplasia, e.g. basal cell malignant carcinomas or squamous carcinomas, is frequently observed in patients with malignan t lymphomas. The association between malignant lymphoma and secondary malignant melanoma has only been rarely reported. We describe a patien t with a low-grade nodal B-cell lymphoma who, while on treatment with steroids and an alkylating agent, developed a malignant melanoma level IV which rapidly metastasized to lymph nodes involved by the malignan t lymphoma.
