AI Article Synopsis
- * A 39-year-old patient with this mutation developed three primary melanomas shortly after starting to use tanning beds.
- * The case suggests that significant UV exposure during adulthood may lead to an increased risk of developing multiple primary melanomas.
Article Abstract
Background: Individuals at increased risk of melanoma should use sun-protective measures to decrease their risk of developing melanoma.
Observation: We report a case of a 39-year-old patient with a CDKN2A mutation who developed 3 primary melanomas within a few years of initiating tanning bed use.
Conclusion: Intense UV exposure as an adult likely contributed to the development of additional primary melanomas in this individual.
