Abstract

Metastases from melanoma have a very poor prognosis for the patient. Single metastatic lesions in the sternum due to melanoma are extremely rare. A rare case of a presternal mass in a 56-year-old patient who had undergone excision for malignant melanoma is presented. Review of the patient's history and surgical resection of a single metastatic soft tissue lesion offer the best chance of long-term survival.
