title: Metastatic malignant melanoma from unsuspected primary, diagnosed on cervical lymphnode FNAC.
abstract: Cervical lymphnodal metastases from unsuspected primary melanoma is a particularly refractory clinical diagnostic situation. Judicious use of FNAC may render the correct diagnosis if discriminant criteria are strictly adhered to. Two cases with enlarged cervical lymphnodes, diagnosed as metastatic malignant melanoma on cytology, are reported.
