Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune progressive demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, mainly in young people. The clinical picture of MS has a variety of neurological symptoms, which manifests itself during periods of exacerbation or progression and stabilizes at the moments of remission. The widespread introduction of new drugs with immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory mechanisms of action has led to the development of special risk management plans for monitoring patients during therapy and preventing adverse events and new comorbid conditions. This article presents a review of the literature and a case report on the combination of MS and melanoma in patients. Melanoma can rarely develop in patients treated with DMD, so it is necessary to introduce such a specialist in dermatology and venereology into a multidisciplinary team.
