Abstract
Metastatic melanoma presents a significant clinical challenge, characterized by its aggressive nature and propensity to spread to multiple organ systems. Despite advances in detection and treatment, managing metastatic disease remains complex. Here, we present the case of a 43-year-old male with metastatic melanoma displaying an unusual pattern of involvement, affecting the adrenal gland, liver, spleen, and bones. The diagnostic process was intricate, involving atypical hormonal profiles and a negative BRAF status, necessitating a comprehensive approach for accurate characterization and treatment selection. Immunotherapy demonstrated efficacy but also highlighted the emergence of immune-related adverse events, notably hyperglycemia. This case discusses the heterogeneous nature of metastatic melanoma and underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, close monitoring, and consideration of evolving treatment strategies in its management.
