Riesgo aumentado del desarrollo de un segundo melanoma cutáneo primario sobre un nevo en pacientes diagnosticados previamente de melanoma cutáneo primario sobre nevo

Nevus-associated melanomas develop mainly in young patients, on the trunk, and are of the superficial spreading subtype. A history of primary cutaneous melanoma arising on a nevus is associated with a 9-fold increase in the risk of developing a second nevus-associated melanoma. These findings highlight the need for careful follow-up of all melanocytic lesions in patients who have had a primary nevus-associated melanoma.
