Abstract:
:The results of liver, bone, and brain scans in 84 patients with recurrent or metastatic malignant melanoma were reviewed. The liver scan was initially positive in 18% (14/78) and ultimately in 32% (25/78). Serum alkaline phosphatase and lactic dehydrogenase were elevated in 92%. These patients ultimately developed positive liver scans, while convincing hepatomegaly was noted in only 44%. Bone scans were eventually positive in 33% (16/49), all of whom had pain. Brain scans were positive in 15% (10/65), all of whom had CNS symptoms. In asymptomatic patients, bone and brain scans only rarely disclosed occult lesions.

However, the routine work-up before surgery revealed hypertension, although there was no family history of this condition. The patient was examined to exclude secondary causes of hypertension.
