ABSTRACT
Zosteriform metastasis from malignant melanoma is a rare type of skin metastasis that shows cutaneous lesions including patches, plaques, and nodules along with dermatomes, and thus needs to be distinguished from herpes zoster skin infection. Although some authors have explained the mechanism of zosteriform metastasis, its pathogenesis remains unknown. Herein, we describe an 85-year-old woman with zosteriform metastasis of malignant melanoma arising in a medium-sized congenital melanocytic nevus.
