  • Title: Small Bowel Intussusception Secondary to Malignant Melanoma 11 Years After Melanoma-In-Situ Excision.
    Author: Briscoe WE, Cockerham WT, Harrell KN.
    Journal: Am Surg; 2023 Jul; 89(7):3275-3277. PubMed ID: 36852657.
    Abstract:
    Small bowel is a well-described site of malignant melanoma; however, it is a rare cause of intussusception. A patient presented with malignant melanoma causing jejunojejunal intussusception 11 years after resection of melanoma-in-situ. The patient was managed with exploration and resection. Despite complete resection of melanoma-in-situ and limited literature about its metastatic potential, malignant melanoma as a lead point for intussusception should be on the differential for any patient with pertinent history. To our knowledge, this appears to be the first case of melanoma-in-situ causing small bowel intussusception.
