Abstract
The assumption in a patient with a history of melanoma is that any subsequent lymphadenopathy is metastatic disease. We present a case where a seemingly obvious case of metastatic malignant melanoma proved to be Reactive Follicular Hyperplasia, illustrating it is important to be aware of all differential diagnoses, even when a cause appears obvious.
