A rare case of disseminated malignant melanoma
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Public Health - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Malignant melanomas arise from the various tissues harboring melanocytes including skin, mucocutaneous junctions, conjunctiva, iris, and choroids. They may metastasize to various organs including the skin itself but their presentation, as metastatic cutaneous nodules, is rare. Hereby, a case of metastases of melanoma with unknown primary is being reported, where a young adult male presented with cutaneous nodules of melanoma and metastatic deposits in the lungs and brain.
