چکیده
|
Melanoma metastatic to the appendix is extremely rare. here we describe a case of a 31-year-old female from bolivia with a remote history of metastatic malignant melanoma first diagnosed as a cutaneous malignant melanoma ten years prior to this presentation. the patient was being followed for a mucocele which on resection was found to be metastatic melanoma. mucocele is a generic diagnosis that warrants further characterization and treatment. copyright © 2011 a. a. alduaij et al.
