title: [Image of the month. A hidden melanoma hidden in a tennis player].
abstract: A man presented with a malignant melanoma of the scalp. The lesion reached a large size before being disclosed. Repetitive sunburns during tennis matches could be responsible for this cancer. Indeed, hair protects only partially the skin from ultraviolet damages.
