Introduction: We report one case of melanoma cutaneous metastases strictly localized on a skin graft donor site distant from the tumor site.
Case report: A patient with a shoulder melanoma was treated by surgery. A split-thickness skin graft was taken from a thigh to cover the raw area. Six months later, nodular cutaneous metastases strictly localized on the skin graft donor site appeared.
Comments: Physiopathology of those lesions is unknown. Hyaluronic acid is increased in granulation tissue and could be chimiotactic for melanoma cells.
