Abstract

Survival from malignant melanoma has improved, and as a consequence, the possibility of raised risk of second primary cancers needs to be taken into account in clinical management. We report two cases of second primary cancers in patients with cutaneous malignant melanoma. One is a 61-year-old man suffered from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with acral lentiginous melanoma, the other is a 65-year-old woman who suffered from malignant lymphoma with superficial spreading melanoma.
