Abstract
Malignant melanoma is a dangerous tumor with potential to metastasize. We report a series of 3 cases, which presented with lymphadenopathy and their cytological diagnosis of metastatic melanoma was made based on cytomorphological features. FNAC is a highly accurate, rapid, and cost-effective procedure for the diagnosis of metastatic melanoma and should be considered as the initial diagnostic procedure of choice in patients with melanoma with clinically suspected metastases.
