title: Primary small bowel melanoma: a case report.
abstract: The small intestine is the most common site of gastrointestinal metastasis from cutaneous melanoma. However, the small intestine itself is rarely the site of a primary melanotic tumour. We describe a case of primary small bowel melanoma in a 70-year-old man, and discuss the features of primary and metasttic melanoma.
