Abstract
Solitary pulmonary lesions were detected roentgenographically in two melanoma patients during routine follow-up examinations. Melanoma metastases were suspected and the tumors were surgically removed. One turned out to be bronchogenic carcinoma, the other was found to be a chondroma. These cases indicate that in suspected solitary pulmonary melanoma metastases a surgical approach may be reasonable.Keywords
