Pulmonary metastases from malignant melanoma showing ground-glass opacity nodules
Lung metastases from malignant melanoma sometimes appear as GGNs on CT, with a frequency of 14.9% in this study. If lung metastasis is observed as a GGN, the tumor doubling time may be useful for differentiating lung metastasis of malignant melanoma from lung adenocarcinoma.
