抄録

A rare case of metastatic malignant melanoma of unknown primary origin to the right inguinal lymph nodes was reported. Although the melanoma was largely developed dimensioned 20×15×7cm, after extensive chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy and hyperthermia, we were able to excise the melanoma from the inguinal area. However, after 7 months it recurred. In addition 11 patients with malignant melanoma including the present case experienced by us in the Department of Dermatology, Saitama Medical Center, Saitama Medical School, between 1986 and 1991, were summarized and discussed.
