    Malignant melanoma with widespread metastases caused diffuse melanosis. The patient

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Dermatology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Malignant melanoma is a serious skin cancer.
    • Metastatic melanoma can spread to various organs.
    • Diffuse melanosis is a rare complication.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with widely metastasized malignant melanoma.
    • The metastases were observed in the liver, skin, and tonsils.
    • The patient exhibited diffuse melanosis, a slate-blue skin discoloration.

    Findings:

    • Cutaneous melanosis resulted from increased dermal melanin deposits.
    • Two potential etiopathologies were considered: circulating melanin precursors or direct dermal metastasis.
    • Light and electron microscopy indicated circulating melanin precursors as the dominant cause in this case.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the mechanism of melanosis in metastatic melanoma is crucial.
    • This case highlights the complex presentation of advanced malignant melanoma.
    • Further research may elucidate the precise pathways of melanin dissemination in metastatic cancers.
