ABSTRACT
Malignant conjunctival melanoma is a rare tumor. A 46-year-old woman with a history of locally recurrent left conjunctival melanoma was followed by F-FDG PET/CT. Four years after the local recurrence treated by orbital exenteration, the follow-up PET/CT scan showed an incidental intense FDG uptake mass infiltrating the gallbladder associated with a low uptake of an infracentimetric pulmonary nodule. The patient was completely asymptomatic with no sign of local recurrence. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed, and histopathologic findings were consistent with gallbladder metastasis of melanoma. After almost 2 years of immunotherapy, the patient is still in complete response.
