Primary Cutaneous Melanoma Arising in a Long-Standing Irradiated Keloid

الملخص EN

Ionizing radiation has been used therapeutically for a variety of clinical conditions, including treatment of hypertrophic keloids.

Keloids may rarely be associated with malignancy, but the use of low-dose ionizing radiation is associated with an increased risk of cutaneous malignancies.

We describe a case in which a primary desmoplastic melanoma arose in a long-standing, previously irradiated keloid.
