Article Synopsis
- A 77-year-old man with a history of metastatic melanoma and uveal melanoma had a firm blue nodule on his back during a dermatologic exam.
- The nodule, excised for analysis, revealed atypical cells indicative of a plexiform neoplasm with central necrosis, suggesting a malignancy.
- Molecular studies showed mutations distinct from his previous melanoma, indicating that the nodule was a metastasis from uveal melanoma rather than a recurrence of his prior cutaneous melanoma, highlighting the need for combining clinical and molecular data for accurate diagnosis.
