UMANA ORDONEZ, Mauricio et al. Melanoma metastases on skin graft donor site. Case report. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2021, vol.47, n.1, pp.105-110.  Epub 02-Ago-2021. ISSN 1989-2055.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0376-78922021000100014.

Cutaneous melanoma metastases in the area where the skin is removed to cover the defect of the initial lesion removal are rare, and there are few publications about it.

We present the unusual case of a 60-year-old patient with a diagnosis of melanoma in the left suprascapular region, who underwent a wide local excision surgery and was reconstructed with a partial thickness skin graft, subsequently appearing multiple metastatic lesions of gray-blue papular appearance in the graft recipient and donor areas.

This clinical finding coincided with the detection of liver, lung, retroperitoneal, and brain metastases, that lead us to suspect disseminated disease.
