| description | A 50-year-old lady presented with complaints of chest pain and cough for the past one month. Right supraclavicular
lymphadenopathy, bilateral pleural effusion were present. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) from the lymph
node showed brownish-black pigment laden tumour cells. Review of history subsequently revealed that she had undergone a surgical procedure over the sole of her left foot three years ago of which no records were available. Reexamination of sole of left foot showed a pigmented infiltraling lesion. Pleural biopsy revealed pigmented tumour
deposits. The patient was diagnosed to have fulminant metastatic malignant melanoma of left foot with metastasis to
cervical lymph nodes and pleura. This case report re-emphasizes the importance of combined approach to ascertain diagnosis early. |
