Primary malignant melanoma of the mediastinum: radiologic and pathologic correlation in two case.

Sun-Young Park¹, Mi Young Kim, Eun Jin Chae.

Abstract

Primary malignant melanoma of the anterior mediastinum is extremely rare, accounting for 0.1-0.5% of all primary malignant neoplasms. These tumors may be mistakenly diagnosed as lymphomas, thymic carcinomas and malignant germ-cell tumors of the mediastinum. We describe two cases of primary malignant melanomas of the anterior mediastinum and report their CT and pathology findings.
