Malignant melanoma predominantly occurs in the skin and mucous membranes, thus, malignant melanoma of the breast is particularly rare. In the current study, a case of a 26-year-old female with a malignant melanoma of the breast is presented. On diagnosis of the patient, extensive metastasis had occurred. The patient refused any treatment and succumbed two months after the initial diagnosis. The prognosis for patients with this rare tumour of the breast is somewhat poor. Early diagnosis, correct surgical resection and comprehensive adjuvant therapy are the key procedures that may improve the patient survival rate. The current case report aims to increase the awareness of uncommon tumours of the breast.
恶性黑色素瘤主要发生于皮肤和黏膜，因此，乳腺恶性黑色素瘤极为罕见。在本研究中，报告了一例26岁患有乳腺恶性黑色素瘤的女性病例。在对该患者进行诊断时，已发生广泛转移。患者拒绝任何治疗，在初次诊断后两个月死亡。这种罕见的乳腺肿瘤患者的预后有些差。早期诊断、正确的手术切除和综合辅助治疗是可能提高患者生存率的关键措施。本病例报告旨在提高对乳腺罕见肿瘤的认识。
