In a previous issue of this journal, Greene et al. described 2 patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease who later developed cutaneous malignant melanoma. Although the development of the two diseases in the same patient may have occurred by chance, the authors raised the possibility of a shared neural crest defect or a genetic linkage. Among the patients reported by Greene et al., one had a dominant form of CMT. The patient`s mother and brother were similarly affected. A paternal aunt died of melanoma. The second patient had a neuronal type of CMT. His brother showed the same disease, but the parents were not examined. 7 refs.
