Malignant melanoma is a common skin neoplasm bearing poor prognosis when presenting with metastases. Rarely melanoma metastases present without an identifiable primary cutaneous lesion despite exhaustive workup. We describe the case of a solitary lung metastasis in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 without an identifiable primary tumour. The rapid progression of this malignant neoplasm that led to the patient's death within 1 year is described.
恶性黑色素瘤是一种常见的皮肤肿瘤,出现转移时预后较差。尽管进行了详尽的检查,但黑色素瘤转移灶罕见地在没有可识别的原发性皮肤病变的情况下出现。我们描述了一例1型神经纤维瘤病患者出现孤立性肺转移且无可识别的原发性肿瘤的病例。本文描述了这种恶性肿瘤的快速进展,该患者在1年内死亡。
