Abstract
Melanoma is the most common malignancy of the skin. It is characterized by a high mortality rate due to his ability to metastasize to all organs. Gastrointestinal tract is an unusual metastatic localization among the non-cutaneous melanoma localizations and is also linked to poor prognosis. Many studies have demonstrated that surgical approach to intestinal metastases improves the quality of life and leads to an increase in survival. In this case, we report the clinical presentation of an intestinal perforation due to melanoma metastatization in an elder patient who already had bone metastases.
