RESUMEN
Malignant melanoma is one of the most common malignancies associated with metastatic disease to the gastrointestinal tract. Malignant melanotic melanomas metastasized to the stomach and duodenum, stomach, small bowel, and rectum have been reported in Korea. However, amelanotic malignant melanoma metastasized to the gastrointestinal tract, to our knowledge, has not been reported in Korea. Recently, we experienced a case of amelanotic malignant melanoma metastasized to the duodenum in a 48 year-old man. The primary site was presumed to be the soft tissue near the right knee. Pulmonary and pancreatic metastasis were also noted at presentation. Despite systemic chemotherapy, the patient died of progressive disease at about 13 months after presentation.
