Malignant melanoma involving the respiratory tract is nearly always metastatic. True primary tumors are very rare, and only approximately 28 cases have been reported in the literature. Extensive clinical and histopathological examinations are needed to ascertain that the lung is the primary site. We present the case of a 67-year-old man with an apparent primary malignant melanoma of the lung in the right lower lobe. We also review the literature.
累及呼吸道的恶性黑色素瘤几乎总是转移性的。真正的原发性肿瘤非常罕见,文献中仅报道了约28例。需要进行广泛的临床和组织病理学检查以确定肺部是原发部位。我们报告一例67岁男性患者,其右下叶肺部存在明显的原发性恶性黑色素瘤。我们还对文献进行了综述。
