ABSTRACT
Two cases of cutaneous malignant melanoma were observed in two Iran-Iraq war victims exposed to chemical warfare [sulfur mustard gas]. In both cases melanoma developed on healed areas of mustard gas exposure after several months. The clinical course was unusually dramatic in both cases. Both cases died of aggressive clinical course. Possible etiologic role of mustard gas in the development of malignant melanoma is discussed
