title: [Melanoma of the small intestine and adenocarcinoma of the colon].
abstract: The clinical case of a 73-years old male who was admitted for diarrhea and loss of weight is presented. Barium enema and colonoscopy demonstrated small size polyps in the sigmoid colon, one of which had a histologic diagnosis of adenocarcinoma. Abdominal examination detected a mass in the mesohypogastrium which did not appear to be related to the previous findings. CAT and intestinal transit confirmed a second tumor in the small bowel with the histologic diagnosis of a resected specimen being melanoma.
