Malignant melanoma is an aggressive tumor with poor prognosis that can have widespread metastases at presentation. Melanoma is known to undergo neuroendocrine differentiation. We report a case of a 60-year-old woman with malignant melanoma showing a metastatic lesion in the thyroid expressing somatostatin receptors as evident by Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT and metabolically active widespread subcutaneous metastases on F-FDG PET/CT imaging.
