Melanoma metastatic to the bronchus: radiologic features in two patients.
Two patients with cutaneous melanoma metastatic to the bronchus are described. Chest radiographs revealed only indirect signs of bronchial obstruction. Computed tomography (CT) clearly demonstrated the intraluminal lesion. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging signal characteristics were not specific for melanoma.
