Abstract

Introduction: Tanning bed use has been directly correlated with increased risk of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers with greater duration and frequency of use. Despite this, complete bans for minors accessing indoor tanning devices are active in less than half of the states in the United States.

Case presentation: A 65-year-old female presented to our Mohs surgery clinic with a history of left temporal T2a melanoma, multiple untreated advanced keratinocyte carcinomas, and innumerable smaller untreated keratinocyte carcinomas on her legs, arms, and back after more than 40 years of weekly tanning bed use.

Discussion: Reports from the literature indicate that first exposure under age 35 to tanning devices increases the risk for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers. Several programs currently focus on prevention, education, and legislative change surrounding this topic.

Conclusions: Highlighting such severe cases may provide an effective form of education for the public regarding the potential disease burden that results from indoor tanning.

病例报告:长期使用日光浴浴床的严重皮肤癌后果。
导言:使用日光浴浴床与黑色素瘤和非黑色素瘤皮肤癌的风险直接相关,而且使用时间越长、频率越高。尽管如此,美国只有不到一半的州完全禁止未成年人使用室内日光浴设备:一名 65 岁的女性到我们的莫氏手术诊所就诊,她患有左颞 T2a 黑色素瘤、多个未经治疗的晚期角质细胞癌,以及腿部、手臂和背部无数个较小的未经治疗的角质细胞癌,此前她每周使用日光浴床长达 40 多年:文献报告显示,35 岁以下首次接触日光浴设备会增加罹患黑色素瘤和非黑色素瘤皮肤癌的风险。目前有几项计划重点关注这一主题的预防、教育和立法改革:强调此类严重病例可为公众提供一种有效的教育形式,使其了解室内日光浴可能导致的疾病负担。
