A case report reveals gastrointestinal bleeding in jejunal melanoma, indicating rare metastatic behavior in a tumor.
Metastatic spread of malignant melanoma to the small intestine occurs more frequently than primary intestinal melanoma, which remains an exceptional finding. Clinical manifestations often include gastrointestinal hemorrhage, intestinal obstruction, or acute peritonitis. Prompt surgical intervention is essential in emergency presentations, both to control life‐threatening bleeding and to improve survival prospects. This report describes a rare case of jejunal melanoma presenting with massive gastrointestinal bleeding and an additional tumor with identical histological characteristics in the right parotid gland.
