Abstract:
This article describes the case of a 60-year-old woman with a remote history of uveal melanoma who presented with breast metastasis. The breast imaging findings are thoroughly discussed, covering conventional imaging, MRI, and PET-CT, with particular emphasis on the unique imaging characteristics of metastatic melanoma on MRI, which is notably different from other breast pathologies due to the paramagnetic properties of melanin. These properties contribute to a characteristic signal pattern that aids in distinguishing melanoma from other breast lesions, facilitating the diagnosis.
