It sounds like he has had a thorough examination , which did not find any primary melanoma sites. Such patients may actually have a regressed primary melanoma or a visceral primary melanoma. I do not know if you will ever find out. Try this reference: Elder, DE Metastatic melanoma, in Pigment Cell, vol 8, 1987 p 182.
