Published: October 2000

Small bowel metastases of the malignant melanoma are usually discovered in 2-5% of the patients with malignant melanoma of the skin during the life. They are usually being diagnosed with a complication on the small bowel, such as occlusion, bleeding, anemia and perforation of the intestine. Authors show three patients with metastases of the malignant melanoma in the small bowel, which lead to invagination, subocclusion and anemia due to bleeding. In all the patients, resection of the small bowel was performed with termino-terminal anastomosis. One of them lived 7, the other 4 months after the surgery and is in pretty well condition, while third patient was not controlled at all.
