Abstract

Although malignant melanoma is the most frequently seen type of skin cancer in children, its frequency among solid tumours is quite rare. Congenital giant melanocytic nevus is a risk factor for malignant melanoma and it is well known that neurogenic sarcomas, liposarcomas, rhabdomyosarcomas, undifferentiated small round and pinnece cell tumours can also be formed on this nevus. In this report, a 3 year old patient with a primary diagnosis of round cell sarcoma who later diagnosed as malignant melanoma is presented.

Özet

Malign melanom, çocuklardaki deri kanserlerinin en sık saptananı olmasına karşın, çocukluk çağı solid tümörleri arasında oldukça nadirdir. Konjenital dev melanositik nevüslerin malign melanom için bir risk faktörü oluşturduğu ve bu zeminde ayrıca; nörojenik sarkomlar, liposarkomlar, rabdomyosarkomlar, andiferansiye küçük yuvarlak ve iğsi hücreli tümörler de gelişebildiği bilinmektedir. Bu yayında, dev konjenital melanositik nevüs zemininde yuvarlak hücreli sarkom ve daha sonra da nodüler malign melanom tanısı almış üç yaşında bir olgu sunularak tartışılmıştır.
