Abstract

Thus far there have been very few cases that document such a rarity as the same cancer occurring in monozygotic twins, at the same time, in the same location. We report this extraordinary phenomenon in our patients, 71-year-old identical female twins, presenting with melanoma at the same time (within 10 days of each other) and location (the right calf).
