Abstract

The case of a 43-year-old woman with two-month history of right hemiabdominal pain and hepatomegaly is presented. The main anamnestic data were the diagnosed left eye malignant melanoma and the enucleation of that eye 11 years ago. Abnormal results of the liver function tests, particularly elevated AST, ALT, gamma GT and alkaline phosphatase levels as well as scintiscan, ultrasound and CT could not provide a presumptive diagnosis. Percutaneous needle biopsy of the liver under CT control enabled the diagnosis of malignant melanoma metastases.
