A Rekha1, A Ravi, Nandigam Venu, A Shivanraj.   

Abstract

Malignancy has been reported with chronic lymphedema, especially lymphangiosarcoma. The authors report on a patient with lymphedema due to filariasis, presenting with an ulcerated pigmented lesion that was malignant melanoma. A literature search revealed no previous report of such lesions existing together.
