Abstract
In a 25-year-old woman who was operated for superficial spreading mali gnant 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 met astasis of a malignant melanoma in the gallbladder.
