A RARE CASE OF GALLBLADDER MELANOMA WITH GASTROJEJUNAL METASTASIS

Malignant melanoma of the gall bladder is an extremely rare presentation. Malignant melanoma is the commonest tumor with metastasises to the gastrointestinal tract particularly the stomach and small bowel. The prevalence of malignant melanoma in the gastrointestinal tract without any evidence of a primary lesion in the skin or any other site is extremely rare. Here we report a rare case of malignant melanoma involving the gall bladder, jejunum and stomach. The patient underwent laparotomy with cholecystectomy and resection of the jejunal metastasis following which adjuvant therapy was given.
