[Ovarian metastasis of malignant melanoma--case report].
Malignant melanoma is a rare encounter in gynaecological practice; when it does occur it is most commonly as a primary tumor of the vulva. Primary manifestation of generalised metastatic spread in both ovaries ten years after treatment for a low risk malignant melanoma is a rare finding. In the absence of a appropriate previous history, classical histopathological methods can sometimes lead to an uncertain diagnosis. However, by permitting a combination of various markers, supplemental immunohistochemical examination will facilitate the correct diagnosis.
