A CASE OF MASSIVE LUNG MELANOMA ASSOCIATED WITH SUPERFICIAL BRACHIAL MELANOMA
Abstract
The paper represents an observation from the medi-cal practice. In the course of post-mortem examination the au-thors found massive lung melanoma associated with superficial brachial melanoma in an oncologic patient who had died of multiple metastases, including metastases in brain. Based on the gross impression, the features of metastatic disease and histologi-cal studies they came to a conclusion about initial involvement of the lung. Superficial brachial melanoma was at pre-metastatic growth stage and characterized by other cytological parameters.
