Spontaneous regression of metastatic melanoma is a rare event with only 76 cases having been reported since 1866. The precise mechanism of regression remains unknown. We present a case of a man with spontaneous regression of pulmonary metastatic melanoma confirmed on histopathology accompanied by reduction in fluorodeoxyglucose-activity on serial positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan.
转移性黑色素瘤的自发消退是一种罕见事件,自1866年以来仅报告了76例。消退的确切机制尚不清楚。我们报告一例男性患者,经组织病理学证实肺转移性黑色素瘤自发消退,同时在系列正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描中氟脱氧葡萄糖活性降低。
