Abstract
A rare case of metastatic malignant melanoma of the esophagus 11 years after wide excision of a cutaneous malignant melanoma is presented and the relevant literature reviewed. Symptomatic esophageal metastasis is unusual in malignant melanoma. Although the eventual outlook is poor in such cases, worthwhile palliation can be achieved by prompt diagnosis and treatment.Entities:
