摘要
Ovarian metastasis from malignant melanoma is rare and usually appears as a solid ovarian mass. We report a case of ovarian metastasis from cutaneous malignant melanoma that proved to be a diagnostic dilemma. The ovarian metastasis exhibited a multilocular cystic appearance on magnetic resonance imaging, mimicking a mucinous ovarian tumor with massive ascites.
