Abstract EN
Malignant melanoma is a common skin neoplasm bearing poor prognosis when presenting with metastases.
Rarely melanoma metastases present without an identifiable primary cutaneous lesion despite exhaustive workup.
We describe the case of a solitary lung metastasis in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 without an identifiable primary tumour.
The rapid progression of this malignant neoplasm that led to the patient’s death within 1 year is described.
