A Unique Case of High-Grade Dedifferentiated Melanoma Without a Known Primary Site.

Melanoma is a malignant neoplasm that arises in melanocytes, pigment-producing cells present primarily in the skin. However, not all malignant melanomas originate from the skin, and the other sites of origin include the uveal (eye) or mucosa (rectal or oral); it can have different patterns of mutations. While targeted therapies and immunotherapies have transformed the treatment of this disease in the metastatic setting, resistance mechanisms can still pose challenges for patients and their healthcare providers. We present a case of a male patient with metastatic melanoma and discuss its clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, treatment options, and outcomes. By exploring the complexities of this multifaceted disease process, clinicians and researchers can gain valuable insights into potential areas for improved management strategies. Ultimately, we should aim to deepen our understanding of melanoma and work towards better patient outcomes.
