Tumoral melanosis without metastasis: a report after three years of follow-up

Chasing shadows: A series of tumoral melanosis mimicking melanoma

“…One case report demonstrated no clinical signs of melanoma or systemic disease at 3 years of follow-up in a patient with isolated TM. 8 Our patient in case 1 was also diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, which is a recognized risk factor for melanoma, 9 though no studies have explored the relationship between chronic lymphocytic leukemia and TM.
