The malignant melanoma is a neoplasm associated with a wide variety of cutaneous paraneoplastic syndromes, as dermatomyositis, systemic sclerosis, paraneoplastic pemphigus. We describe a case of four multiple trichilemmal cystis arising on frontal region in the same patient with brain metastasis and unknown primary melanoma and discuss their relationship.

Melanoma Patients

Objective. Primary gall bladder melanoma is a rare and controversial entity. So far, only 36 cases are documented in the literature. Metastatic melanoma targeting the gall bladder, however, has been reported to occur in about 15–20% of melanoma patients and is much more common. Methods. Based on the case of a 58-year-old woman presenting with multiple melanoma nodules in the gall bladder, we searched in the available literature in PubMed for articles describing a “primary melanoma of the gallbladder” regardless of language used. Results. We detected 33 papers that described 36 cases of primary gall bladder melanoma between 1907 and 2017. From different criteria distinguishing primary and secondary gall bladder melanoma, generally, the following were accepted: (1) exclusion of previous primary melanoma, (2) absence of synchronous involvement of other sites, (3) unicity of the lesion, (4) polypoid or papillary shape of the lesion, and (5) presence of junctional melanocitary component. Review of the 36 published cases revealed that only about one-fourth of them fulfilled all the five criteria. Conclusion. Primary gall bladder melanoma is even rarer than described in the literature, and the question whether this entity really exists remains open.

Common Cancer

Primary malignant melanoma represents the fifth most common cancer in the United States. It is subdivided into two forms: cutaneous (90%), visceral (8%, including ocular and mucosal) and of unknown primary (2%). The vast majority of gastrointestinal melanomas are secondary lesions until proven otherwise. Primary esophageal melanoma in particular is exceedingly rare, less than 200 cases have been documented in the literature to date. It is highly prevalent in Japan and occurs twice as much in men than women around the 6th decade of life. It has a predilection for the middle and lower esophagus, with only 6 cases occurring at the gastroesophageal junction worldwide. Its etiology and pathogenesis are poorly understood, and no curative treatment has been established given the paucity of cases. We present a case of primary melanoma of the gastroesophageal junction which represents the 2nd incident case in the united states and 7th worldwide.

Primary melanoma origi­nating on the female nipple remains an extremely rare variant of malignant melanoma and only a few cases haves been reported in the literature. We describe a case of a patient admitted for a black pigment deposition on the left nipple. Surgical resection of the left nipple and areola with clear margins and an axillary lymph node dissection was performed confirming the diagnosis of non-invasive superficial spreading melanoma.

Tissue Defects

Introduction. Metastatic melanoma of unknown primary (MMUP) is already a well described oncologic phenomenon in the literature, whereas tissue defects? reconstructions on the neck region always present a challenge for the reconstructive surgeon. Two cases of giant metastatic, skin infiltrative neck tumor masses are presented. In both cases MMUP was diagnosed. Both intraoperative tissue defects were reconstructed using pectoralis major (PM) regional flap. Outline of cases. The first patient was admitted with giant tumor mass on the right side of the neck. The fast growing mass appeared two months prior to the admission. Thorough examination showed no signs of primary tumor. Removal surgery was performed and the defect was reconstructed using the PM musculocutaneous flap. The second patient was admitted with large tumor mass on the left side of the neck. Thorough examination displayed no signs of any primary tumor. After the excision, the tumor mass and subsequent neck dissection, reconstruction followed, using the pedicled PM muscle flap and partial thickness skin transplants. There were no major complications in either case. The histopathological examinations presented metastatic melanoma diagnoses. Conclusion. Clinical outcome of MMUP described in literature is rather variable. Different studies have shown that prognosis in patients with MMUP is better than that in patients with diagnosed primary melanoma with metastatic disease. Therefore, the best initial course of action in those cases would be surgery, according to oncological principles, if possible. Neck defects? reconstructions should fulfill both functional and esthetic demands. Due to the reliability and low cost of the procedure, PM regional flap presents a very good and trustworthy reconstruction modality.

Disseminated Disease

We report a case of primary melanoma of the larynx in a patient who died of disseminated disease 13 months later. It is a rare malignant tumor in the head and neck, accounting for 0.4-10% of all melanomas of this site. Histologically, the presence of in situ changes within the laryngeal mucosa strongly supports our diagnosis of primary melanoma of the larynx.
