Abstract

Abstract Melanoma is a malignant tumor of melanocytes. In the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly occurs as a metastatic deposit, which is usually diagnosed at autopsy. We have described a 74- year-old woman with secondary deposits in the stomach. Manifested with nonspecific symptoms such as the palpatory painful tenderness of the epigastrium, anemia, high sedimentation and low serum iron. Fecal occult blood test was positive. Esophagogastroduodenal endoscopy was done and she was seen polypoid resizing of 60 x 30 mm with uneven edges. A pathological finding of biopsy shows existence malignant melanoma in the mucosa of the stomach.
