ABSTRACT
Malignant melanoma is a common malignancy that has potential to metastasize to any site. Metastatic disease involving the stomach and liver are difficult clinical problem and presenting symptoms include weight loss, fatigue, and nonspecific epigastric pain. Laboratory results, barium X-ray study, endoscopy, CT, arteriography, and MRI suggest a metastatic malignant melnoma of the stomach and liver. The diagnosis may be confirmed by endoscopic biopsy of the stomach and aspiration needle biopsy of the liver. Metastatic melanoma is generally incurable, with survival in patients with visceral metastases generally <1 year. A case is reported of a metastatic malignant melanoma of the stomach and liver in a 60-year-old male patient, that was discovered 11 years after an enucleation of a choroidal melanoma of the right eye.
