We report about the case of one patient with diffuse small bowel metastases of melanosarcoma, which were revealed by signs of malabsorption 2 years after the exeresis of the initial skin tumor. Metastases of melanosarcoma in the digestive tract, especially the small bowel, have polymorphic and hardly suggestive clinical signs. We lay stress on the high percentage of small bowel metastases of melanosarcoma pointed out by the anatomicopathological literature and on the lack of systematic clinical and radiological search for such metastases in the assessment and follow-up of the primary melanosarcoma.

D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.

D011504 Protein-Losing Enteropathies Pathological conditions in the INTESTINES that are characterized by the gastrointestinal loss of serum proteins, including SERUM ALBUMIN; IMMUNOGLOBULINS; and at times LYMPHOCYTES. Severe condition can result in HYPOGAMMAGLOBULINEMIA or LYMPHOPENIA. Protein-losing enteropathies are associated with a number of diseases including INTESTINAL LYMPHANGIECTASIS; WHIPPLE'S DISEASE; and NEOPLASMS of the SMALL INTESTINE.
