Metastatic melanoma posing as a pelvic mass

Abstract

Pelvic metastasis of melanoma is extremely rare and may pose a diagnostic challenge. We present a case report of a female with a history of colon cancer who underwent exploratory surgery for a pelvic mass that was suspicious for ovarian malignancy. Pathology was consistent with both recurrent colon cancer as well as synchronous newly diagnosed metastatic melanoma.
