A case of melanoma metastatic to the gallbladder and the common bile duct with clinical presentation of obstructive jaundice and bilirubinemia.

Cutaneous melanoma is known to have the capacity to metastasize to virtually any organ. Because melanoma metastases to the gallbladder and the extrahepatic bile ducts are usually clinically asymptomatic, there are only few reports on this topic in living patients. We describe a case of melanoma metastatic to the gallbladder and the common bile duct presenting with obstructive jaundice and bilirubinemia.
