A rare case of primary malignant melanoma of the bronchus is described. Before considering this diagnosis, metastasis from an occult primary must be convincingly excluded and the tumour should conform to certain guidelines. This patient presented with a solitary lung tumour for which she underwent left lower lobectomy and continues to be tumour free 54 months after surgery. Two possible mechanisms of aetiology are suggested.
本文描述了一例罕见的原发性支气管恶性黑色素瘤病例。在考虑这一诊断之前，必须令人信服地排除隐匿性原发灶的转移，且肿瘤应符合某些标准。该患者表现为孤立性肺肿瘤，为此她接受了左下叶切除术，术后54个月仍无肿瘤复发。文中提出了两种可能的病因机制。
