Abstract
A case of malignant melanoma of the quadriceps tendon is reported. Thi s is an uncommon soft tissue sarcoma of melanocytic origin. The appear ance on MRI depends on its melanin content. The microscopic appearance is distinctive and prognosis is poor. This tumor should be kept in mi nd when a nodular lesion is detected in specific tendon or aponeurosis .
