| Abstrakt: | Jejuno-jejunal intussusception is a rare mode of metastatic melanoma presentation, with only six cases being reported in the English medical literature to date. We present a case of a 55-year-old female who presented to us with features of obstruction. On exploration, it was discovered that she had jejuno-jejunal intussusception, with enlarged blackened mesenteric lymph nodes. Resection and anastomosis were performed. On further histopathological examination, a lesion was found to be a metastatic malignant melanoma. |
