Popis:	Primary mucosal malignant melanoma of the small bowel is extremely rare. The small bowel is mostly affected by metastases of the primary malignant melanoma of the skin. Bowel obstruction is a rare complication of metastatic melanoma. We present a case of small bowel obstruction in a 49-year-old man with history of skin malignant melanoma. A segmental resection of the ileum with termino-terminal anastomosis was performed. Pathohistological examination showed metastatic melanoma. After 4 years of follow-up, the patient is still free of the disease.
