Malignant melanoma with gall bladder metastasis as a second neoplasm in the course of prostate cancer

Malignant melanoma is a neoplasm with an often unpredictable course and metastases potentially affecting all organs of the human body. Metastases into the gall bladder are rare. The role of hormonal background in the development and progression of malignant melanoma has not been established. The authors present a case of a 63-year-old man who had initially undergone long-term hormone therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer, and later presented with melanoma metastatic to the gall bladder.
