Malignant melanoma recurring deep in the body can present with a considerable range of symptoms and although routine CT Scan and chest x-ray are probably not indicated as they are expensive, time consuming and give very meagre returns, the minute a patient complains of any of these symptoms full scale investigation is imperative. Although it may not be possible to do very much about the symptoms, sometimes suitable surgical removal will give the patient if not cure at least prolonged palliation.
