BACKGROUND: Individuals at increased risk of melanoma should use sun-protective measures to decrease their risk of developing melanoma. OBSERVATION: 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. CONCLUSION: Intense UV exposure as an adult likely contributed to the development of additional primary melanomas in this individual.
