Résumé

 

Le mélanome malin a un potentiel métastatique important. Les métastases pulmonaires du mélanome sont communes cependant la localisation endobronchique reste rare et pose le problème de son origine primitive ou secondaire.

 

Nous rapportons le cas d’un mélanome pulmonaire qui présente des particularités intéressantes: une lésion cutanée présumée primitive totalement régressive, la présentation radio clinique mimant parfaitement un cancer bronchique primitif, un aspect endoscopique bourgeonnant et grisâtre dont l’étude histologique a permis de poser le diagnostic, une agressivité tumorale avec une extension intracardiaque et bourgeon tumoral intra cavitaire.

 

A travers cette observation, les auteurs étudient les caractéristiques radio-cliniques pouvant distinguer le mélanome pulmonaire primitif  du secondaire; la localisation endobronchique avec une revue de la littérature sur les métastases endo bronchiques; le bilan d’extension à entamer en cas de mélanome pulmonaire ainsi que les difficultés thérapeutiques posés par ce type de lésion dont le pronostic reste péjoratif.

 

Abstract (Provided by the authors)

 

Malignant melanoma has an important metastatic potential, however the endobronchial localization of the malignant melanoma remains rare. It shows the problem of its primitive or secondary origin.

 

We report the case of a pulmonary melanoma who presents interesting characteristics: primitive skin lesion supposed completely regressive; clinical x-ray presentation as a primitive bronchial cancer; an endoscopic gray budding with histological study diagnosis; aggressiveness with a heart extension and a bud in heart cavity.

 

Through this observation, the authors study the radio-clinics characteristics to distinguish the primitive pulmonary melanoma from the secondary; the endobronchial localization with a review of the literature on endo bronchial metastases; the results of extension to be started in case of pulmonary melanoma as well as the therapeutic difficulties caused by this type of lesion whose forecast remains pejorative.
