title: [Malignant endobronchial melanoma, apparently primary. Apropos of a case].
abstract: This case concerns a 48 year-old patient whose endobronchial malignant melanoma was discovered on the occasion of a haemoptysis. A search for primary localization remained negative, suggesting a primary endobronchial lesion. Only a few cases of endobronchial malignant melanoma have been published, and several assumptions can be raised to explain the possibility of their primary origin.
