Metastatic malignant melanoma in an endometrial polyp

We present an 81-year-old woman with metastatic melanoma confined to an endometrial polyp leading to the diagnosis of widespread dissemination of the patient's acral melanoma resected 6 years prior. Although rare, metastatic melanoma should be considered as a cause for abnormal bleeding, especially in the post-menopausal patient with a history of melanoma.
