    Abstract:
    Malignant cutaneous melanoma (MCM) is a very aggressive disease that becomes in a true problem of health because of the increase in the last 5 years. In the present paper, authors report the detection of the tumor, metastases and recurrences mean 99mTc HMPAO. We presented 5 cases of MCM patients and observed the radiopharmaceutical uptake in skin, nodules and recurrent tumor lesions. Because of the number of patients was limited, authors recommended the research with a lot of patients. The gammagraphic studies could be very important for the staging of the disease and early detection of metastases and recurrent lesions.
