dc.description.abstractThe most common form of presentation of malignant melanoma is cutaneous. However, it is important to notice that it can occur in any part of the body, mostly from metastatic route. Gastrointestinal forms of symptomatic metastasis are rare, making it sometimes difficult to diagnose. We present a rare case of an 84-year-old female with a small bowel obstruction due to melanoma metastasis. She was treated with an enterectomy, with no surgical or post-operative complications. Although surgery should be reserved from symptomatic patients, some authors refer to it as a palliative treatment with improvement in long-term survival.pt_PT
