Abstract

Malignant melanoma originating from the ovary is a very rare condition. Bone marrow involvement and hypercalcemia is observed at a very low rate in malignant melanoma cases (5-7 and 1.1-11.9%, respectively). In this paper, we present very rare condition as a 67-year-old female patient with malignant melanoma of ovary origin accompanied by bone marrow infiltration and hypercalcemia.

Hiperkalsemi ve kemik iliği infiltrasyonu ile başvuran bir overiyan malign melanom: vaka sunumu ve literatür taraması

Abstract

Over kaynaklı malign melanom oldukça nadir bir durumdur. Kemik iliği tutulumu olması ve hiperkalsemi varlığı malign melanoma vakalarında çok düşük oranda gözlenmektedir (sırasıyla, % 5-7 and % 1.1-11.9). Bu yazıda biz de kemik iliği infiltrasyonu gösteren ve hiperkalsemisi bulunan oldukça nadir bir 67 yaşında kadın over kaynaklı malign melanoma vakasını sunduk.

Keywords

Overiyan malign melanoma, kemik iliği infiltrasyonu, hiperkalsemi
