The uterus is an extremely rare location for a primary or metastatic melanoma. We describe the ultrasonographic appearance of a malignant melanoma of the uterus presenting clinically as a large mass in a 78‐year‐old woman. Transabdominal sonography revealed a solid uterine mass measuring 13 × 11.5 × 8.5 cm with inhomogeneous echotexture and bright internal echoes. The tumor showed a diffuse spread inside the uterine corpus, and the endometrium was not demonstrated ultrasonographically. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound 33: 424–427, 2005
