Node-positive transcranial recurrent melanoma: is an aggressive resection warranted?

Abstract:

:Locally advanced, node-positive recurrence of malignant melanoma is a harbinger of distant metastases and signifies poor prognosis. However, the clinical course may vary due to the unpredictable biology of malignant melanoma. The presented patient developed a recurrent melanoma of the scalp that eroded through the skull and involved regional lymph nodes with extracapsular extension. He was treated with wide local excision of the recurrence, bilateral posterolateral neck dissection, and immediate microvascular reconstruction followed by adjuvant radiation therapy. The patient remains free of disease at 12 years. This case illustrates that an aggressive resection should be considered for the operable patients with locally advanced recurrent melanoma to render them disease free surgically.
