Abstract

Metastatic melanoma without a primary is a rare form of skin cancer. Unlike typical melanomas, where the primary tumor is present, metastatic melanoma without a primary is characterized by the presence of metastases without the presence of an identifiable primary tumor. Treatment options depend on the location and extent of metastasis, and advances have been made in the development of targeted therapies. It is important that individuals with risk factors for this disease undergo regular testing for early signs of the disease and that healthcare professionals are aware of this rare disease when diagnosing metastases without a primary. However, the prognosis remains poor due to the difficulty in diagnosing the disease at an early stage. In this article, we will discuss the causes, symptoms, diagnostic methods, and treatment options for this disease.
