“…The literature has described the usefulness of abdominal CT scan in the diagnosis of melanoma metastases to the small bowel, with an estimated sensitivity of about 66% [ 16 ]. This is confirmed by the fact that the diagnosis of small bowel melanoma metastases is mostly made post mortem [ [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , 12 ].…”

“…Most patients with metastatic intestinal melanoma are asymptomatic and only 1–4% of metastases to the gastrointestinal tract are detected before death [ [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , 12 ]. In these cases, diagnosis is often made after a complication develops [ 1 ].…”

“…Malignant melanoma is responsible for 1–3% of malignant disease [ 1 ]. It frequently spreads to the gastrointestinal tract, with 60% of patients with advanced metastatic disease showing digestive involvement [ [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] ]. Small bowel is the most common location of melanoma metastases in the gastrointestinal tract (GI) [ 1 , 2 , 6 ].…”

HighlightsMalignant melanoma frequently spreads to the gastrointestinal tract (60%).Only 1–4% of melanoma metastases to the gastrointestinal tract are detected before death because most patients are asymptomatic.Gastrointestinal spread of previously treated malignant melanoma should always be considered in patients with digestive symptoms or ferropenic anemia.Small bowel intussusception and gastrointestinal bleeding are unusual presentations of intestinal melanoma metastases.Surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment, not only providing symptomatic control but also leading to improved survival.

Patient de 58 ans hospitalisé pour exophtalmie avec lésion orbito-ethmoïdale droite saillante. Les examens complémentaires révèlent un envahissement du parenchyme cérébral, une atteinte pulmonaire, hépatique, gastrique, rétropéritonéale, et l'histologie permet de retenir le diagnostic de mélanome métastatique de stade IV avec pour origine le sinus ethmoïdal droit, sans lésions cutanées. Mots clés Mélanome · Métastases · Localisations gastriquesAbstract A male patient aged 58 was admitted to the hospital for exophthalmos due to a projecting lesion of the right orbito-ethmoidal region. Investigation showed that there was cerebral parenchymal invasion and also involvement of the lung, liver and stomach and retroperitoneum. Histology confirmed a diagnosis of metastatic melanoma, which was stage IV, arising from a primary in the right ethmoid sinus and there were no skin lesions.
