title: Melanoma.
abstract: The incidence of malignant melanoma in the UK is still rising despite public health warnings about the risks of excessive sun exposure. This aggressive tumour can metastasize to virtually any organ, even years after resection of the primary lesion and cause a variety of radiological appearances. This review provides examples of both typical and non-specific imaging features of melanoma metastases, as well as examples of primary choroidal melanoma.
