Pancreatic resection for metastatic melanoma originating from the nasal cavity: a case report and literature review.

Abstract:

:Metastatic pancreatic malignant melanoma is considered to be a highly aggressive neoplasm, and only few metastasectomies for lesions originating from the skin or the ocular region have been reported. We report a case of resection of pancreatic metastasis of malignant melanoma originating from the nasal cavity. An isolated pancreatic tumor was detected in a 46-year-old man who had undergone proton-beam therapy for nasal melanoma 12 months earlier. He underwent distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy and the pathological diagnosis was metastatic malignant melanoma. We review cases of malignant melanoma metastatic to the pancreas and further discuss their incidence, therapeutic strategy, and outcome of mucosal melanoma of the head and neck.
