Primary Pulmonary Malignant Melanoma Presenting as Bilateral Multiple Subsolid Nodules: A Case Report
Taehan Yongsang Uihakhoe Chi
|October 14, 2022
Summary
Primary pulmonary malignant melanoma is rare and often misdiagnosed. This case highlights its atypical presentation as bilateral subsolid nodules on CT scans, mimicking adenocarcinoma.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Radiology
- Pathology
Background:
- Primary pulmonary malignant melanoma is an exceptionally rare diagnosis.
- Radiological findings are typically nonspecific, often presenting as a solitary, well-demarcated nodule or mass.
- Distinguishing it from other lung malignancies can be challenging.

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:

Tuberculosis, or TB, is a bacterial infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While its primary impact is on the lungs, leading to pulmonary tuberculosis, it can also affect various other organs, a condition referred to as extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...
