| Popis: | Highlights • Metastatic melanoma to the ovary is uncommon and can occur years after initial diagnosis. • Ovarian metastatic melanoma can mimic various benign lesions on imaging and clinical history is key. • If any suspicion in pregnancy, placenta should be evaluated due to possibility of transplacental transmission. Metastatic melanoma to the ovary is an uncommon presentation. We report a case of metastatic melanoma to the ovary that presented as a growing left adnexal mass during pregnancy and was thought to be benign by imaging and frozen section pathology. Here we discuss the challenges in radiologic and pathologic diagnosis, as well as considerations for the mother and newborn. |
