Metastatic melanoma involving skin – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1545173342

Metastatic malignant melanoma of the skin presents most commonly as pigmented papules and nodules adjacent to a primary tumour (local metastasis) or in association with regional lymphatic spread. In advanced disease it may be found widely dispersed or in distant sites as a result of haematogenous dissemination from a known or unknown primary tumour. Rarely patients may present with a generalised diffuse melanosis.
