CYTOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF METASTATIC MELANOMA- A SERIES OF 3 CASES
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignant melanoma is an aggressive tumour with a propensity to metastasize. We report a series of 3 cases, which presented with lymphadenopathy and cytological diagnosis of metastatic melanoma was made based on morphology and immunocyto-chemical features. FNAC is a highly accurate, rapid, and cost-effective procedure for the diagnosis of metastatic melanoma and should be considered as the initial diagnostic procedure of choice in patients with melanoma with clinically suspected metastases.
