Abstract
Malignant cutaneous melanoma frequently metastasises to gastrointestinal tract, small bowel being the most common site likely due to its rich vascular supply. However, most common sites for metastatic uveal melanoma are the liver (93%), lung (24%), bone (16%), skin/subcutaneous tissue (11%) and lymph nodes (10%). 1 We present a case of 46-year-old man with jejunojejunal intussusception secondary to metastatic uveal melanoma status postbrachytherapy after 11 years of remission. We aim to highlight the rare occurrence of adult intussusception secondary to uveal melanoma after a prolonged period of remission. © BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2019. No commercial re-use.
