[The metastatic liver: a rare cause of hepatocellular insufficiency].
Liver metastases are frequent, often large and sometimes very late in skin or choroid metastatic melanoma. Hepatic failure is a rarely described complication in metastatic liver melanoma. We report a case of liver failure in a metastatic liver melanoma in a woman 76 years old, treated 16 years before for a choroid melanoma. About this case, we discuss the frequency, the location of primitive tumors and mechanism of liver failure in metastatic liver.
