Primary melanoma of the lung

Abstract

This paper describes a case of primary melanoma of the lung. The histologic features required to make a diagnosis of primary melanoma of the lung or bronchus are demonstrated in this case. It is suggested that since melanoma may occur fairly commonly in juxtacutaneous mucous membranes, it is not unreasonable to see a few cases in an adjacent site such as the bronchus of the lung.
