title: [Diffuse melanosis in metastatic malignant melanoma with melanuria].
abstract: We report an additional case of diffuse melanosis secondary to metastases from malignant melanoma in a patient, who was seen in our department shortly before death. We couldn't localize the origin of the primary neoplasm. After reporting the case, we discuss the pathogenesis of melanosis and possible sites of the primary tumor.
