Less than 25 cases of primary malignant melanoma of the lung have been reported in the literature, with limited mention in the surgical literature. When published criteria are strictly applied, the actual number of cases is even fewer. We report the case of a 74-year-old man who underwent a left lower pulmonary lobectomy for a large left lower lobe mass consistent with malignancy. Clinical and pathological review confirmed primary malignant melanoma of the lung. Relevant clinical and histopathological features and the criteria for diagnosis are reviewed.
文献中报道的原发性肺恶性黑色素瘤病例不足25例，外科文献中提及有限。严格应用已发表的标准时，实际病例数更少。我们报告一例74岁男性患者，因左肺下叶一与恶性肿瘤相符的大肿块接受了左肺下叶切除术。临床和病理检查证实为原发性肺恶性黑色素瘤。本文回顾了相关的临床和组织病理学特征以及诊断标准。
