Most of melanomas of the gallbladder are metastatic lesions of cutaneous melanoma. Primary melanomas of the gallbladder are described as single, polypoid, intraluminal masses emanating from the mucous membrane. The most important characteristic is the absence of melanoma damage to the skin. If it is not possible to localize primary melanoma a multidisciplinary approach to diagnostic search comes to the fore. Predicting for primary melanoma of the gallbladder is a difficult task due to the small number of cases and the absence of long-term follow-up for this category of patients.
