Abstract
Melanomas that initially affect the lymph nodes without an identified primary lesion traditionally have been termed unknown origin metastatic melanomas (UOMM). Its etiology or natural history is not well known and there is no unanimous consensus of treatment. Although they are exceptional cases, clinical findings make us consider the existence of a group of melanomas until now regarded as UOMM. The latest theories defined them as true primary melanomas of lymph nodes with a different biological evolution.
