Abstract

The appearance of metastasis without clinically demonstrable primary tumor is one of melanoma's challenges. The aim of this study was to recognize the specific characteristics of this occurrence. Based on our study of three patients, we have proposed theories to explain this behavior, its clinical approach, and therapeutic management. We conclude by stressing the importance of finding the primary tumor or traces of it.
