Melanoma During Pregnancy

ROBERT S. SMITH, MD and PHILIP RANDALL, CAPT, USAF (MC)

From the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn. and Plattsburgh Air Force Base, Plattsburgh, NY

Abstract

The incidence of malignant melanoma during pregnancy encountered at two hospitals is presented, along with 8 case reports. The relationship between melanoma and the hormones of pregnancy is discussed. A review of the literature showed that the widely held opinion that pregnancy exacerbates the course of melanoma is evidently not true, as judged from more than 150 recorded case reports, and may have resulted from isolated experiences.
