- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a patient who presented with a melanoma diagnosed 27 years after a benoxaprofen-induced photosensitivity reaction. It shows that an association between solar injury secondary to benoxaprofen-related photosensitivity and subsequent melanoma may suggest the patients to be at increased risk. It indicates that the long-term sequelae to its photosensitizing effects may still be clinically important.
