Fetal malignant melanoma: ultrasound presentation and review of the literature.
Malignant melanoma is an infrequently described type of congenital neoplasm. We report a case of primary fetal malignant melanoma. A review of the literature yielded six previous cases, four of which were due to metastasis from advanced maternal disease, and two of which were fetal (primary) in origin. Recommendations are discussed for management of this rare fetal malignancy.
