[Uterine metastases of malignant melanoma]

Uterine metastases of extragenital malignomas are rarely presented in literature. Malignant melanoma as primary tumour is described more often than can be expected with regard to its relative incidence in comparison to other malignomas. If the uterus is involved in melanoma disease, mostly cervix and myometrium are affected, endometrial metastases are considered to be very rare. If the primary tumour is known, bleeding abnormalities frequently lead to the diagnosis of uterine metastases, but occasionally abnormal bleeding appears to be the first symptom of melanoma disease. In the following another such case is described and an additional case of endometrial metastases of malignant melanoma is presented.
