Abstract

We report a case of cutaneous Stage I melanoma associated with occult breast cancer detected incidentally during a sentinel node biopsy. A brief review of the literature is presented with particular emphasis on this association and on an examination of the theoretical link which may exist between melanoma and breast cancer.
