Jejunal intussusceptions due to metastatic malignant melanoma: a case report

Intussusception is an infrequent cause of mechanical bowel obstruction in adults and surgical resection is warranted in most cases. Small bowel is a common site of recurrence from cutaneous melanoma but early diagnosis is still a challenge. Acute peritonitis, haemorrhage and obstruction are known cl...

description Intussusception is an infrequent cause of mechanical bowel obstruction in adults and surgical resection is warranted in most cases. Small bowel is a common site of recurrence from cutaneous melanoma but early diagnosis is still a challenge. Acute peritonitis, haemorrhage and obstruction are known clinical presentations. Wide surgical excision with free margins and accompanied mesentery is the treatment of choice and may improve the prognosis. We present a case of small bowel obstruction due to three intussusceptions by metastatic malignant melanoma submitted to surgery.
