ABSTRACT
A 62-year-old man who presented with complaints of cough and hemoptysis was found to have an endobronchial tumor which obstructed the lingular bronchus. Histopathologic examination of a bronchoscopic biopsy of the tumor was consistent with malignant melanoma. Skin, mucosal, and eye examinations failed to detect the primary site of melanoma and the patient was diagnosed with endobronchial melanoma of unknown primary (MUP). Although the patient underwent a curative surgical resection, recurrence was detected in 4 months. Endobronchial MUP is a rare presentation of melanoma and better therapeutic strategies need to be established.
