Abstract
We present the case of a patient who underwent a laparoscopic splenectomy for splenomegaly associated with anemia and thrombocytopenia thought to be secondary to lymphoma and was found to have metastatic melanoma without a primary source. This is a rare entity in that the patient falls into an atypical population group with conflicting opinions about management that has been scarcely reported in the literature.
