ABSTRACT: This case report discusses a patient with stage 3A malignant
melanoma who developed a large, friable mass at the site of a completion inguinal
lymphadenectomy following a positive sentinel lymph node biopsy. We highlight the
importance of considering both local disease recurrence and overgranulation in the
differential diagnosis in order to guide appropriate management.
