Abstract

Melanoma, a malignant tumor arising from melanocytes, is known for its aggressive behaviour and propensity for metastasis. While commonly associated with the skin, melanoma can disseminate to various organs, including the digestive tract, leading to significant clinical challenges. The gastrointestinal tract, particularly the stomach and intestines, is an uncommon site for melanoma metastasis, yet its occurrence poses unique diagnostic and therapeutic complexities.
