Melanoma is the result of the malignant transformation of normal melanocytes of the skin, which are responsible for the synthesis of melamine. It occupies the third place in frequency of skin cancer. Its incidence shows an annual increment of 3 to 7 % which varies in different populations. In our country the mortality is higher than the incidence due to the delayed diagnosis. We are reporting a case of a patient with fair skin who developed blue metastases that were indistinguishable from the characteristic pattern of blue nevi.
黑色素瘤是皮肤正常黑素细胞恶性转化的结果，黑素细胞负责合成黑色素。它在皮肤癌发病率中位居第三。其发病率每年以3%至7%的速度增长，不同人群有所差异。在我国，由于诊断延迟，死亡率高于发病率。我们报告一例皮肤白皙的患者，其出现了蓝色转移灶，与蓝痣的特征性表现难以区分。
