Abstract
Several combinations of different skin tumors occuring one adjacent to the other or even in a single lesion have been described up to date. Collision tumors involving atypical fibroxanthoma and melanoma are extremely uncommon. Herein we present a case of melanoma associated with AFX and discuss on the usefulness of dermoscopy in the clinical diagnosis of collision tumors.
