Metastatic Amelanotic Malignant Melanoma with Unknown Primary - A Case Report

Malignant melanoma is a relatively common neoplasm of melanocytes. The lesion is classically pigmented although amelanotic melanomas are known to occur. The tumour is prone to metastasize early with lymph node metastases presenting earlier than haematogenous metastases [1]. Melanomas presenting with unknown primaries are rare. We describe a case of a metastatic amelanotic melanoma with an unknown primary in a young woman.
