Abstract
Epidermotropic metastatic malignant melanoma can simulate a primary ma lignant melanoma. However, since therapeutic management can be drastic ally different for these two lesions, care must be taken in evaluating them. We report a woman with forty-eight metastatic lesions of malign ant melanoma, twenty-two of which were removed and found on histologic examination to be epidermotropic metastatic malignant melanoma.
