Abstract:
Metastasis to the gallbladder is rare. Malignant melanoma is the tumor that most often metastasizes to this site. For this reason, the finding of solid lesions in the gallbladder wall in patients with advanced stage melanoma should lead to the suspicion of metastatic disease. The aim of this report is to describe and illustrate a case of surgically confirmed malignant melanoma metastasis to the gallbladder and to review the most significant ultrasound findings described in the literature for gallbladder lesions caused by melanoma.
