Melanoma in a patient treated for psoriasis
South Med J.
1978 Jun.
Abstract
Psoriasis, ultraviolet light, and coal tar have been associated with the development of cutaneous malignancy. We have described a 32-year-old psoriatic man who developed a melanoma after 16 years of treatment with ultraviolet light and coal tar. This is the only case of melanoma occurring in a patient treated for psoriasis reported in the world literature.
