Malignant Melanoma of Small Intestine presenting with Intussusception

Abstract

A 62 year old gentleman was admitted with complaints of abdominal pain and not opening bowels for one day. He had a 4 month history of abdominal pain which had worsened for which he came to the hospital. For the last three months he had loose motions approximately thrice daily. One month back he was admitted to Hospital for similar complaints when an ultrasound was done which showed gallbladder polyps and a few simple liver cysts. He also underwent colonoscopy which showed diverticulosis. During this admission a CECT abdomen and pelvis was done which reported a jejunoileal intusussception in the right lumbar region caused by an obstructing small bowel tumour with resultant acute mechanical small bowel obstruction. Rest of the intraabdominal organs were reported to be normal.
