    Abstract:
    Gastric metastases of choroid malignant melanoma seem to be exceptional since less than 10 cases have been previously published. We report the case of a 71 year old patient with a gastric melanosarcoma secondary to a choroid malignant melanoma. Gastric metastasis was revealed by digestive bleeding occurring 18 years after right eye enucleation. Gastroscopy showed black ulcerated tumors. Histology confirmed the diagnosis portraying typical melanic pigments within the gastric mucosa. Laser photocoagulation of the gastric lesion was used for the first time in this indication. As a result, hemorrhage decreased and the patient's comfort was improved.
