- Abstract
Metastatic melanoma to the gall-bladder producing symptoms which mimic cholecystitis is an uncommon and unusual clinical presentation of metastatic disease. We present a case of a 40-year-old women who initially had a thin primary cutaneous melanoma, and later presented with acute abdominal pain which was diagnosed as acute cholecystitis. Pathological review of the gall-bladder revealed metastatic melanoma.
