Abstract
A 70 year-old women admitted to our hospital with a swelling and discharge of the right inguinal site. Biopsy results was consisted with malignant melanoma. Imaging of thorax and abdomen showed metastatic disease. After first-line temozolamide treatment, palliative radiotherapy was applied to primary site because of progression. After detection of BRAF-V600E mutation, vemurafenib treatment was initiated. Treatment response to vemurafenib was very good partial response after second months of the treatment. Although locally progression of the left lung was seen after fifth months of therapy, partial response remained on the other sites, she was still on the treatment with vemurafenib.

Abstract
Yetmiş yaşında kadın sağ inguinal bölgede akıntılı şişliği olması üzerine başvurdu. Lezyon biyopsisi malign melanomla uyumluydu. Toraks ve batın görüntülemelerinde metastaz bulguları mevcuttu. Birinci basamak temozolomid sonrası lezyon bölgesinde progresyon nedeni ile palyatif radyoterapi uygulandı. BRAF-V600E mutasyonu nedeni ile vemurafenib başlandı. Tedavinin ikinci ayında çok iyi kısmi yanıt elde edildi. Tedavinin 5. ayında sol akciğerde lokal progresyon izlenirken diğer bölgelerde kısmi yanıtı devam ediyordu. Palyatif radyoterapi sonrası vemurafenib tedavisine devam edildi.
