A 24-year-old man presented to the casualty department with a history of left-sided, colicky abdominal pain for one day. It was associated with an inability to pass flatus or motion within the same duration. There was no history of vomiting. On examination, the vital signs were within normal limits, and he was afebrile. His abdomen was soft, but a hard mass was palpable on the left side of his abdomen. There was no peritonitis. The bowel sounds were sluggish.

A 61-year-old gentleman presented with small bowel intussusception from small bowel melanoma intussusceptum. He complains of intermittent abdominal distension but no history of intestinal obstruction. Apart from this, he was also symptomatic anemia which required repeated transfusion for the past few months. The contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen shows an omental mass with small bowel intussusception. He then underwent an exploratory laparotomy with segmental resection of the affected segment. Histopathological examination confirmed primary gastrointestinal melanoma. Multiple small bowel malignant melanoma is a rare disease. It remains a controversial diagnosis as it may be a primary or metastasis from an unidentified or regressed primary cutaneous melanoma. Prompt surgical intervention enables us to obtain tissue diagnosis, prevent complete intestinal obstruction and strategize the goals of treatment for the patient.
