Abstract

We report here a rare case of metastatic malignant melanoma presenting as ileo-ileal intussusception. A 66-year-old man revealed a past medical history of excision of malignant melanoma, followed by axillary lymph node spread treated with block dissection and radiotherapy. He presented with symptoms of small bowel obstruction and subsequent CT revealed a likely nodular intussusception. Resection confirmed the intussusception and histological analysis confirmed the lead point as metastatic malignant melanoma.
