      Is the mass confirmed melanoma?  Have you had melanoma elsewhere?  Melanoma doesn't start in the lungs so that would mean it traveled from somewhere else to the lung.  But there are other cancers that could show up in the lung like lung cancer that didn't travel to get there.  It would be helpful if you could provide more information.
