“…For a long time, melanoma of the gastro‐intestinal tract has not been considered as a primary lesion, but as a metastatic one 36 . It is still difficult to diagnose and the following criteria are suggested for considering a melanoma to be primary in the gastro‐intestinal tract: the presence of atypical melanocytes along the basal epithelium, the absence of melanomas elsewhere and no history of metastatic melanoma 37 .…”

“…Only four case reports of IMT of gall bladder are available in literature. [3][4][5][6] We report a case of IMT of gall bladder in a patient with suspected cancer of gall bladder, who underwent radical cholecystectomy for gall bladder mass lesion. The plane with segment V of liver was ill defined with doubtful invasion of second part of duodenum.…”

Background: Malignant melanoma is a highly unpredictable tumor that has capacity to metastasize to any organ. A better understanding is needed of the clinicopathologic features of metastatic melanoma and, in particular, of its rare manifestations. Case Report: A 33-year-old woman with a past medical history of malignant melanoma presented with symptoms of throat discomfort and bleeding. On physical examination, a dark pigmented lesion was observed on the right tonsil. Tonsillectomy was performed, and melanoma was diagnosed. Computed tomography of the thorax and abdomen revealed a filling defect in the right atrium and a 4-cm gallbladder mass. Echocardiography revealed a right atrial mass. No further metastasis was detected by whole body ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography. Each metastasis was completely resected with clear margins. The pathologic diagnosis of the resected masses was malignant melanoma. 3 weeks after the final surgery, temozolomide was started. The patient has been followed up for 9 months after diagnosis of the first recurrence, and no new metastases have been detected. Conclusion: We report a case with synchronous tonsil, gallbladder, and heart metastases without any other common sites of metastasis of melanoma. The patient was successfully treated with aggressive surgery followed by temozolomide.
