Ovarian metastasis of a malignant melanoma: A case report

Malignant melanoma represents 3% of cancers at the woman. The metastatic gynecological localization are rare and ovary is an exceptional site. Prognosis of metastatic ovary malignant melanoma is pejorative (5% 5 years survival). We report a case observed in a 65-year-old patient, who developed 2 melanomas of the left leg and presented a right ovarian tumor during a supervision tomodensitometric 7 years after diagnostic initial. The immunohistochemical assays after annexectomy confirmed the diagnostic of ovarian metastasis. To evoke an ovarian metastasis localization of a malignant melanoma in front of the increasing incidence is a decisive for prognosis. (C) 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
