xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Eruptive melanocytic nevi in a patient with amelanotic melanoma: a paraneoplastic phenomenon? Via Melanoma Research - Current Issue Eruptive melanocytic nevi (EMN) describes the sudden onset of cutaneous nevi over weeks or months. Such a clinical event is generally seen in young adult patients and may be related to several possible causes. We report here a case of EMN in an old male patient followed up for a thick amelanotic cutaneous melanoma. A few months after the eruption, multiple hepatic masses, diagnosed as melanoma metastasis, were detected. The presented case may suggest that EMN may be a paraneoplastic phenomenon of alert in patients being followed for melanoma or other malignancies. View on the web Inoreader.
