Abstract

Iatrogenic dissemination of cancer cells has been described often on scars of tumor surgery, and in malignant melanoma, bruises and hematoma revealing preexisting metastases have been reported. This case illustrates the abilities of tumor cells to colonize the skin under favorable conditions and emphasizes the importance of minimizing bleeding events and iatrogenic seeding of internal neoplasms in daily practice.
