What Is Black Discoloration On A Freckle On The Right Earlobe Suggestive Of?

My husband(73) has had a freckle on the right earlobe it used to be tan now it is black. It is the size a little smaller than a dime. He just had colon surgery because there were 15 phollops and a mass, behind the mass was cancer, His surgeon said it was the size of a mans closed fist. Could this be why the freckle has turned black
