PY - 2015 DA - 2015/03/29 TI - Aggressive Behaviour of Metastatic Melanoma in a Patient with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 SP - 431943 VL - 2015 AB - 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.
