Abstract
|
|
|
Melanoma is a highly malignant from of cutaneous cancer depending on the depth of
penetration by the aggressive melanotic cell. The lesion has the propensity to
metastasize to virtually every oragn in the body.
We present a case of trachea metastasis in malignant melanoma. Primary tumor of
anus and inguinal lymph nodes were resected 3 years ago. Chest X-rays revealed a
nodular mass in trachea. Bronchoscopy showed a grayish-white, polypoid mass which
led to tracheal obstruction above carina. Melanoma cells were reported both in the
secretions obtained at bronchoscopy and biopsy.
