Melanoma is the most deadly form of skin cancer. While the jejunum, ileum, colon, and rectum are common gastrointestinal sites of metastasis, metastatic melanoma to the stomach is rare and usually not discovered until late in the disease. We report a patient who presented with weight loss and hematemesis; on esophagogastroduodenoscopy, a gastric mass was found, and pathology was consistent with melanoma.
黑色素瘤是皮肤癌中最致命的一种。虽然空肠、回肠、结肠和直肠是常见的胃肠道转移部位,但胃转移性黑色素瘤很少见,通常直到疾病晚期才被发现。我们报告了一名出现体重减轻和呕血症状的患者;在进行食管胃十二指肠镜检查时,发现了一个胃部肿块,病理检查结果与黑色素瘤相符。
