Malignant melanoma has a very high propensity to metastasize to the heart. However, melanoma may sometimes present as a metastatic lesion in the absence of a primary lesion, which are called melanomas of unknown primary origin. We report a case in which a patient presented with a metastatic maligant melanoma in the right atrium with pericardial effusion and without a primary origin.
恶性黑色素瘤有很高的倾向转移到心脏。然而,有时黑色素瘤可能在没有原发性病变的情况下表现为转移性病变,这些病变被称为不明原发灶的黑色素瘤。我们报告了一例患者,其右心房出现转移性恶性黑色素瘤,伴有心包积液,但没有原发性病变。
