Primary pulmonary malignant melanoma (also called primary malignant melanoma of the lung, or PMML) is an exceedingly rare non-epithelial neoplasm, accounting for 0.01% of all primary lung cancers. We report a case of a 63--year--old male with no comorbidities who was found to have a large right lung upper lobe mass and was diagnosed with metastatic primary malignant melanoma of the lung. The outcome for primary pulmonary malignant melanoma is grim, with 5-year survival less than 20%, but many patients have rapid progression and a short life span, even with intervention.
原发性肺恶性黑色素瘤（也称为原发性肺恶性黑色素瘤，或PMML）是一种极其罕见的非上皮性肿瘤，占所有原发性肺癌的0.01%。我们报告一例63岁男性，无合并症，发现右肺上叶有一个大肿块，被诊断为转移性原发性肺恶性黑色素瘤。原发性肺恶性黑色素瘤的预后严峻，5年生存率低于20%，但许多患者即使接受干预也会迅速进展且寿命短暂。
