Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer. Melanoma diagnosed during pregnancy or within 1 year of delivery is defined as pregnancy-associated melanoma. Approximately 35% of women diagnosed with melanoma are in childbearing age. Strong evidence for potential association between In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatment and hormone-related cancers is unavailable. We present a case of a 27 years old pregnant female who was diagnosed with melanoma at 22 weeks of gestation after IVF treatment.
