Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for a metastasis of a malignant melanoma in the gallbladder

M H Seelig et al. Z Gastroenterol. 1997 Sep.

Abstract

In a 25-year-old woman who was operated for superficial spreading malignant melanoma two years ago a slowly growing tumor in the gallbladder was detected sonographically. Since further screening for metastatic disease was negative the gallbladder was removed laparoscopically. To our knowledge this is the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy for a metastasis of a malignant melanoma in the gallbladder.
