description

A 58-year-old woman underwent regional intra-arterial chemotherapy for hepatic metastases of a malignant melanoma, because at the time no other organ metastasis was demonstrable. Dacarbazine was injected as a bolus on five successive days, four weeks apart, after which there were several days of fever and the urinary melanogen test became positive. At first the patient clearly improved and was again able to walk. But four months after the start of treatment she died in a hepatic coma.
