| description | Malignant melanoma is one of the most frequent cancers diagnosed during pregnancy. Any pigmented skin lesions that change the color should be examined by an experienced dermatologist and if suspected, should be biopsied. Recent studies showed that malignant melanoma in pregnancy has not a worse outcome compared with non-pregnant state.
Diagnosis of melanoma does not require an early delivery excepted pregnant patients with poor prognosis that need more aggressive treatment. Diagnosis and treatment need to be established in specialized centers with a multidisciplinary team. Pregnancy monitoring should be performed by team consisting of an obstetrician, a neonatologist and a specialist in fetal medicine. |
