Sarah Ferguson: Duchess of York diagnosed with skin cancer
The Duchess of York has been diagnosed with malignant melanoma following the removal of a cancerous mole during treatment for breast cancer.
Sarah Ferguson had several moles removed and analysed while having reconstructive surgery following a mastectomy, her spokesman said.
The duchess "remains in good spirits", despite it being "distressing" to have another cancer diagnosis.
She is the third royal to announce a medical procedure this week.
Her spokesperson said:"Her dermatologist asked that several moles were removed and analysed at the same time as the duchess was undergoing reconstructive surgery following her mastectomy, and one of these has been identified as cancerous.
"She is undergoing further investigations to ensure that this has been caught in the early stages.
