Melanoma to lung?

I’m sure someone with a lot more knowledge than myself will chime in. Until then Lung melanoma can look like anything. My understanding is that it is more likely to be a single met rather than multiple, but that’s by no means a rule. I recently had ground glass nodules that they considered as a possibility of melanoma but it didn’t turn out to be the case. I guess mets are more likely to be solid than semi transparent(I.e., ground glass). Most of the example images show it as round or oval but that’s probably just more likely than a rule. The terrible thing about melanoma is there are basically no rules. That said, I’ve had lots of scares and none have turned out to be metastasis. Hopefully your follow ups will provide good news!

Read your post and can empathise with how you’re feeling.  The majority of lung nodules are benign – but a history of malignancy such as melanoma, a new nodule since diagnosis of your melanoma (you may not have had precious chest X-rays) or larger lesions makes the risk of it being cancerous increase.  I hope that this will be a non melanoma related false alarm – there are lots of stories of those on this forum – particularly with lung nodules.  It’s so hard when something like this happens completely out of the blue – hoping you get this sorted quickly – it’s the not knowing is the worst bit.
