Despite the progress in immunotherapy and targeted therapy for patients with cutaneous malignant melanoma not all patients with loco-regional recurrences will respond to treatment. Electrochemotherapy is a relatively new treatment modality where the efficacy of a chemotherapeutic drug is enhanced by an electrical field. Here we report a case of a 68-year-old woman with a large therapy resistant inguinal lymph node melanoma metastasis complicated by bleeding that was successfully treated with electrochemotherapy.
