Multiple primary melanoma with the Meyerson phenomenon in a young patient

In conclusion, MP is not specific for benignity, even when multiple simultaneous lesions are affected. Inflammatory changes can make melanocytic lesions difficult to interpret, both on dermoscopic regression features and on histopathologic examination. Therefore, it is recommended to consider the complete excision of melanocytic lesions with atypical vessels and/or extensive regression phenomena more than 50%. Further studies are needed to know whether the presence of a melanoma could induce a remote immune response in other benign melanocytic lesions.
