Abstract
In previous studies, a clinical association between eruptive cherry angiomas(CAs) and cutaneous malignancies has been found.1‐2The presence of both lesions in the same individuals may suggest shared pathophysiology between eruptive CAs and other tumors.2 While the association of eruptive CAs with cutaneous melanoma has been well established, the rate of association with other rare melanocytic malignancies, such as uveal melanoma(UM) has not been yet explored.Keywords
