Abstract
This report presents a case of malignant melanoma in a 40-year-old male who underwent resection of the tumor in his right ankle. Eleven months after the resection, a subcutaneous mass was observed on his right femur. Ultrasound examination revealed a hypoechoic tubular structure in the right thigh, with a small amount of blood flow in the lesion. Using ultrasound and fine-needle aspiration, the patient was diagnosed with metastasis and lymphovascular invasion of malignant melanoma. Treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor was originally scheduled, but the lesion disappeared spontaneously after the fine-needle aspiration.
