“…The first case was described by Sharlit in 1938 [8], and there have been some other cases since then [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The literature reports, for example, cases of melanomas which developed in tattoo sites used for marking a radiation field [5]. In these cases, it has been supposed that the marking ink and the subsequent irradiations could be the inciting factors [5].…”

“…As there have been only 13 previous cases in the literature 23,25,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] and the methods and materials of tattooing differ, it is impossible to prove a direct connection between tattooing and the malignant process 23,32,34,35 . Mere coincidence can be the possible explanation 23,34,35,38 , however according to the previous reports other associations could be considered.…”
