Inflammatory metastatic melanoma presented as skin inflammation in an 87-year-old woman. Biopsy confirmed melanoma spread to dermal lymphatics, despite an unknown primary tumor site.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatopathology
  • Medical Oncology

Background:

  • Metastatic melanoma can present with diverse clinical manifestations.
  • Axillary lymph node dissection is a common procedure for melanoma staging.

Observation:

  • An 87-year-old woman presented with inflammatory skin changes over both breasts.
  • These symptoms appeared one year after treatment for melanoma metastases.

Findings:

  • Skin biopsy revealed pigmented tumor nests within dermal lymphatic vessels.
  • Immunohistochemistry confirmed the melanocytic origin of the dermal deposits.
  • The clinical presentation was diagnosed as inflammatory metastatic melanoma.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering metastatic melanoma in inflammatory skin lesions, even with an unknown primary.
