ABSTRACT

Cutaneous melanoma is a malignant tumor derived from melanocytes. It is the second cancer in order of frequency in women of childbearing age, and therefore represents one of the most frequent types of cancer diagnosed during pregnancy. We present a 32.5-week gestational age pregnant patient with clinical changes at the level of a pre-existing nevus. A dermoscopy, exeresis, and biopsy of the lesion were performed, with histopathological diagnosis of nodular melanocytic malignant melanoma.
