Sažetak

Primary mucosal malignant melanoma of the small bowel is extremely
rare. The small bowel is mostly affected by metastases of the primary
malignant melanoma of the skin. Bowel obstruction is a rare complication
of metastatic melanoma. We present a case of small bowel obstruction in
a 49-year-old man with history of skin malignant melanoma. A segmental
resection of the ileum with termino-terminal anastomosis was performed.
Pathohistological examination showed metastatic melanoma. After 4 years of
follow-up, the patient is still free of the disease.
