title: Solitary pulmonary metastasis from melanoma.
abstract: Malignant melanoma often presents with multiple-organ involvement. Pulmonary metastases are present in more than 50 percent of patients with a diagnosis of melanoma at autopsy. Metastases to the lung may be solitary or multiple. Computed tomographic scanning is the most sensitive radiologic method for detecting these pulmonary lesions.
