Abstract
Primary malignant melanoma of the lung (PMML) is an extremely rare tumour with only sporadic case reports. We report
the occurrence of PMML in a 58-year-old female. Although extremely rare, it must be considered in the differential diagnosis
of bronchogenic carcinoma and a detailed systemic examination must be done to rule out any primary skin or eye
involvement.
