Résumé
An unusual case of a 52-year-old female with two metachronous melanomas is presented. An atypical fast-growing nodular melanoma appeared 18 months after the complete excision of an in situ melanoma and one month afterward a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Intra-nodal melanocytic proliferations were identified during lymph node assessment, raising important diagnostic and prognostic concerns. No melanoma susceptibility genes were found. This case report raises the question about the COVID-19 immunosuppression effect on the tumor microenvironment and the oncogenic potential of SARS-CoV-2. It also highlights the importance of clinical follow-up in melanoma patients, which was significantly delayed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
