Abstract:
We report a case of metastasis from a regressed cutaneous melanoma presenting as an acute abdomen. The patient presented with peritonitis, which at operation was found to be due to intraperitoneal haemorrhage from a bleeding metastatic melanoma lesion in the ileum. Surgical resection was performed and the patient remained well 2 years later.
