Abstract
We present two cases of primary melanomas that during their surveillance developed metastasis to the pancreas. After an initial approach, tissue samples of the pancreatic lesions were obtained by endoscopic ultrasound guided-fine needle biopsy (EUS-FNB). The histopathological report was compatible, in both cases, with a metastatic melanoma.
