Description
Summary:Malignant melanoma or melanocarcinoma arising from melanocytes is one of the most rapidly spreading malignant tumor of the skin can occur at all ages, but is a rare before puberty. Malignant melanoma is relatively common neoplasm that not long ago was considered almost uniformly deadly. The great preponderance of melanomas arises in the skin; other sites of origin include the oral and anogenital mucosal surfaces, esophagus, meninges and notably the eye. Breast is a very uncommon site for malignant melanoma; here, we present a case of malignant melanoma of male breast with nodal metastasis.
