Abstract: It is axiomatic that present “truths†have historical perspectives. Consider melanoma. It is distinguished by its possession of pigment characteristically. The word came into existence in 1838. A decade later, the Pathological Society of London started to publish its Transactions. Therefore, what is of interest concerning this cancer? Moreover, a famous German Pathologist, Julius Cohnheim, confided that necropsies provide answers to questions regarding metastasis. Consequently, this paper reports on the spread of melanoma to the bones from 1848 to the end of that century. It is concluded with the impressive thoughts of one of the quoted old masters!
