title: Recent tanning bed use: a risk factor for melanoma.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Individuals at increased risk of melanoma should use sun-protective measures to decrease their risk of developing melanoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a case of a 39-year-old patient with a CDKN2A mutation who developed 3 primary melanomas within a few years of initiating tanning bed use.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Intense UV exposure as an adult likely contributed to the development of additional primary melanomas in this individual.
