Abstract

We aimed to analyze a case of breast metastases from cutaneous malignant melanoma with the literature findings. After performing lumpectomy for the metastatic mass, the patient received oral temozolamide. Four months after the therapy of metastatic disease patient died. Since breast metastases of malignant melanoma are rare, they are reported as a marker of disseminated disease. Agressive surgical procedures are unneccesary. Lumpectomy or quadrantectomy seems to be sufficent surgical procedures. Chemotherapy regimens for metastatic malignant melanoma have been thought as useless.

Özet

Memeye metastaz yapmış, kutanöz malign melanom tanısı ile takip edilen olguyu literatür bilgileri ile birlikte değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Memede oluşan metastatik kitleye lumpektomi uyguladıktan sonra, temozolamide tedavisi başlandı. Metastaza yönelik tedavinin başlanmasının ardından 4. ayda hasta eksitus oldu. Memeye malign melanom metastazı nadir görülmekte olup, yaygın hastalık göstergesi kabul edilir. Agresif cerrahi uygulamalar gereksizdir. Lumpektomi ya da kadranektomi uygun seçenekler olabilir. Kemoterapi protokollerinin metastatik malign melanomlu olgularda etkili olmadığı düşünülmektedir.
