Abstract:
Malignant melanomas commonly metastasise to skin, subcutaneous tissue and lymph nodes. Skeletal muscle metastases from malignant neoplasms are uncommon. There have been very few reports of malignant melanoma metastasising to skeletal muscle. We report a case of malignant melanoma metastasis in the thigh musculature in a young female patient.
