| Popis: | Melanoma may occur during or after natural or in vitro fertilization-associated pregnancy. A 43-year-old woman, who had received in vitro fertilization and developed a melanoma five months postpartum is described. Some studies have not shown in vitro fertilization to increase melanoma risk; however, several investigations have observed melanoma risk to be greater in women who have had this treatment. Therefore, although a potential increased risk for melanoma has been observed in infertile women who were either pregnant before or following in vitro fertilization, whether in vitro fertilization is an etiologic risk factor in the pathogenesis of melanoma for these individuals-or is merely a coincidental event-remains to be established. |
