Múltiplos melanomas malignos em área de cicatriz de queimadura: Relato de caso e revisão da literatura

Abstract

Malignant changes in burn scars can develop in approximately 2% of patients. The majority of these lesions are squamous cell carcinomas. In this article we present the case of a female patient, in the sixth decade, with multiple melanomas arising in the setting of an extensive old truncal burn scar. Multiple malignant melanomas arising in a burn scar are extremely uncommon and only four previous cases have been described in literature.
