Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, has been diagnosed with malignant melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer
The disease was discovered after several moles were removed when she was treated for breast cancer in June, PA said.
“Following her diagnosis with an early form of breast cancer this summer, Sarah, Duchess of York has now been diagnosed with malignant melanoma,” a spokesperson for Ferguson said.
“Her dermatologist asked that several moles were removed and analyzed at the same time as the Duchess was undergoing reconstructive surgery following her mastectomy, and one of these has been identified as cancerous.”
Ferguson was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023 following a routine mammogram screening and underwent surgery.
“Clearly, another diagnosis so soon after treatment for breast cancer has been distressing” for the Duchess, the spokesperson added.
The 64-year-old is said to be recovering at home, surrounded by her family, and remains in “good spirits,” PA reported.
