summary Two patients are reported with cutaneous malignant melanoma who had been on treatment with cyclosporin A. The first case was a 44‐year‐old man with systemic sclerosis and the second a 52‐year‐old woman who had a renal transplant. In both cases cyclosporin A was administered with a low dose of prednisone.
