“…3 To date in the English medical literature, only six cases of jejuno-jejunal intussusception with melanoma as the lead point have been documented. 1,[4][5][6][7]8 Rare reports of primary gastrointestinal melanoma have been documented. It occurs due to the malignant transformation of locally migrated primordial skin melanoblastic cells during foetal development.…”

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.

“…Almost 80 to 90% of adult intussusceptions have an underlying cause, whereas the remainder of adult intussusceptions have been accepted as idiopathic (1, 2, 8). The underlying lesions that represent lead points are various, such as benign and malignant intestinal tumors, a Meckel diverticulum, prolapsed gastric mucosa, aberrant pancreas, adhesions, foreign body, and chronic ulcer (3–5). Lipoma is a rare cause of adult intussusception (6–8).…”

The plain abdominal film in intussusception: The accuracy and incidence of radiographic signs

et al. 1992

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The incidence of four plain abdominal film features associated with intussusception was recorded by four observers in 180 films of patients with intussusception mixed with 100 films of control subjects. The crescent sign and target sign were the most accurate indicators of intussusception. The target sign was the commoner being seen in 68% of films. Signs of small bowel obstruction were not useful in the diagnosis of intussusception. The soft tissue mass was the commonest indicator of intussusception. The soft tissue mass was found more commonly, however, than small bowel obstruction in the control subjects who did not have intussusception.

Abstract: A case of jejunojejunal intussusception is presented, in which a malignant melanoma deposit acted as the lead point. The diagnosis was made on CT and the appearances are described.
