Abstract: Meyerson’s phenomenon (MP) is a rare, eczematous dermatitis classically associated with melanocytic nevi but occasionally linked to melanoma. We report the first documented case of MP localized to a skin graft site following surgical excision of acral lentiginous melanoma in a 59-year-old woman. Eight months post-surgery, the patient developed a pruritic, erythematous, and scaly eruption with vesicles and serous crusts at the graft site. Dermoscopy showed polymorphous vascular patterns and chrysalis structures, raising concern for recurrence. However, histopathology confirmed a spongiotic dermatitis consistent with MP, and topical corticosteroid treatment led to resolution. This unique presentation highlights the diagnostic challenge MP poses in oncologic dermatology and stresses the importance of distinguishing it from melanoma recurrence. Clinicians should be vigilant in assessing inflammatory changes on graft sites, using clinical, dermoscopic, and histological findings to guide accurate diagnosis and management.
