| Abstract |
Malignant melanoma is an extremely aggressive cancer arising from melanocytes, associated with the development of metastases in up to 20% of patients. Although the liver is a frequent metastatic site of malignant melanoma, primary hepatic melanoma (PHM) is rare. The treatment of PHM is controversial, and the prognosis for affected patients remains poor. We present two PHM patients who underwent partial hepatectomy at our institution and review the clinical and pathological data from these cases. Our results suggest that it is difficult to make a preoperative diagnosis of PHM without pathological results. For patients with resectable PHM, surgical resection is a potentially curative treatment. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 August 2015.
All research outputs
#7,072,254
of 24,752,377 outputs
Outputs from World Journal of Surgical Oncology
#200
of 2,123 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#93,354
of 373,182 outputs
Outputs of similar age from World Journal of Surgical Oncology
#13
of 156 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,752,377 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 71st percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,123 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.2. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 373,182 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 156 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
