    Author: Sendagorta E, Pizarro A, Feito M, Mayor M, Ramírez P, Floristan U, Feltes R.
    Journal: ScientificWorldJournal; 2008 May 23; 8():556-7. PubMed ID: 18516477.
    Abstract:
    We present a female patient who developed mucosal and skin hyperpigmentation due to metastatic malignant melanoma. Diffuse cutaneous melanosis is a rare entity that complicates a small percentage of metastatic melanomas, confering a fatal prognosis. We discuss briefly the current evidence on pathogenesis of melanosis arising from metastatic melanoma.
