PMID:  18164398     Owner:  NLM     Status:  MEDLINE    
Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Malignant melanoma presenting in the mediastinum without an extrathoracic primary is extremely rare. To our knowledge, its imaging findings have not been described in the radiologic literature. We report a case of primary malignant melanoma of the anterior mediastinum and discuss its imaging findings on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
