History
At the age of 58, this man had a left upper lobectomy for a lesion seen on X-ray. This
was shown to be a metastatic melanoma; a melanoma had been removed from his back three
years before. Postoperatively, he was noted to have two rapidly-growing nodules in the scalp and
one on his back. At autopsy, metastatic melanoma was demonstrated in liver, adrenal gland,
kidney, heart and brain.
