“…The small bowel melanoma may be metastatic in cases of cutaneous, anal, or ocular melanoma. The most typical metastatic lesions in the intestine are melanomas, but the occurrence of intussusception from melanoma is rare [11]. There are only six cases being reported in the English medical literature to date [12].…”

Introduction: The invagination of one intestinal loop within another rarely occurs in adults and it is usually caused by a polyp or another intraluminal lesion. Intussusceptions occur mostly in children; an organic lesion is not necessary, and colic pain syndrome, rectal bleeding, and a palpable mass (the intussuscepted segment) are characteristics. Justification: To compare data from a tertiary reference hospital with data described in the literature, considering the evolution of such patients is unknown in our field. Objective: To report the case of a patient with distal jejunal intussusception from melanoma metastasis. Method: Information was obtained through medical record reviews, patient interviews, photographic records of the diagnostic methods and the surgery to which patients were subjected, and literature review. Final considerations: The case reported and the publications surveyed bring to light the discussion on the therapeutics of the complex condition that is melanoma metastasis, showing that some patients may present satisfactory and lasting results regarding symptom relief and improvement of quality of life.

Intussusception is telescoping of one segment of the gastrointestinal tract into an adjacent one. It is more common in children than adults. When it occurs in adults, it is usually associated with a lead point. Intussusception is very rare in acute leukaemia and has only been reported in few cases. We present a case of an adult woman who presented with intussusception after a cycle of consolidation chemotherapy with high-dose cytarabine for acute myeloid leukaemia. Other causes of acute abdominal pain were excluded, and the diagnosis was established by CT scan of the abdomen and barium enema. No pathological lead points were found intraoperatively. She underwent a right-sided hemicolectomy with complete recovery. To the best of our knowledge, this is only the fourth case of intussusception that has been reported in an adult patient with acute myeloid leukaemia.
