description The finding of a pigmented lesion within another distinct lesion is rare but not unheard of. Here, we describe the presence of an atypical fibroxanthoma within a melanoma in a 72-year-old female referred to the plastics surgery department with a pigmented lesion on her left knee. It was excised in view of clinical suspicion of melanoma. The histopathology report documented a single lesion with two distinct components, namely a melanoma of superficial spreading type with a Breslow thickness of 3.0mm, and a central nodule of atypical fibroxanthoma.
