Abstract

Malignant melanoma is a malignancy that develops from melanocytes. Breast is an uncommon site for malignant melanoma. Melanoma of the breast occurs in various situations such as primary melanoma of breast skin, metastatic melanoma of breast, in-transit metastasis to the breast, and primary glandular breast melanoma. Most of the melanoma breast either cutaneous melanoma or metastatic melanoma. Primary glandular melanoma of male breast with nodal involvement is rarely reported compared to primary cutaneous melanoma breast. Here, we report a case of primary glandular melanoma of male breast with nodal metastasis. This case reported to highlight about primary glandular melanoma breast and early diagnosis of melanoma breast.
