ABSTRACT
We report a 68-year-old female patient referred to the Surgical Department of Erbil Teaching Hospital university hospital, Erbil, Iraq with the diagnosis of malignant melanoma of the right upper thigh of one-year duration. Six months after primary lesion, she developed a satellite skin nodule of malignant melanoma over the unhealthy skin of the anterior abdominal wall in direct contact with the primary lesion. She also had a pendulous abdominal wall. This kind of spread of melanoma is unusual, and of non-classical route. We also discussed herein, similar cases admitted to our hospital
