Malignant melanoma and hairy cell leukemia. Two cases.
The authors report two cases of malignant melanoma associated with hairy cell leukemia. Skin neoplasia preceded hematological malignancy in the first observation. Among reports concerning the association of malignant melanoma with hematological diseases, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin's lymphoma and non Hodgkin's lymphoma are preponderant. Epidemiological studies would be of value to predict the expected risk of malignant melanoma in hairy cell leukemia.
