Abstract
The case report describes an 84-year-old patient with the diagnosis of malignant melanoma made in the year 1996. In September 2004 the lumps on the left thigh and left inguinal lymphadenopathy appeared.
Cytologically verified malignant melanoma metastases were treated by a combination of radiotherapy and hyperthermia with a good effect of partial regression. Indications of paliative radiotherapy in malignant melanoma are discussed.
