Malignant melanoma is a disease with high metastatic potential which starts in melanocytes. The liver is the organ most often targeted for metastatic spread. Nonetheless, primary liver melanoma is very rare. Few cases have been described. We here report the case of a female patient with primary liver melanoma diagnosed based on liver biopsy results and confirmed by histological and immunohistochemical analyses as well as by providing a comprehensive assessment excluding other localizations.
恶性黑色素瘤是一种起源于黑素细胞且具有高转移潜能的疾病。肝脏是最常发生转移扩散的器官。然而,原发性肝脏黑色素瘤非常罕见。仅有少数病例被报道。我们在此报告一例基于肝脏活检结果诊断的原发性肝脏黑色素瘤女性患者,通过组织学和免疫组化分析以及全面评估排除其他定位后得以确诊。
