Abstract

We saw a 59-year-old patient who was treated with dabrafenib and trametinib because of metastatic melanoma. She had an asymptomatic, black-blue macula in the excision scar. Histopathology showed tumoral melanosis. This is an histological term for dermal aggregates of melanophages, associated with regression of melanoma.
