Eleven-year survival from an intra-dermal melanoma

Stage IV metastatic malignant melanoma of unknown primary (TxNxM1a) is known to have a poor prognosis. However, some patients suffering from cutaneous disease originally thought to represent metastasis have fared much better than expected. We report a patient who has survived 11 years following such...

description Stage IV metastatic malignant melanoma of unknown primary (TxNxM1a) is known to have a poor prognosis. However, some patients suffering from cutaneous disease originally thought to represent metastasis have fared much better than expected. We report a patient who has survived 11 years following such a diagnosis. Due to the prolonged survival and absence of an identified primary, it is unlikely that the lesion was metastatic but may represent one of a number of other possibilities. A small number of similar cases in the literature suggest a need for awareness of this unusual group of patients.
