Abstract

CONTEXT: Malignant melanoma commonly metastasizes to the small intestine where it can cause pain, bleeding, and obstruction. However, jaundice from metastatic melanoma is relatively uncommon.

CASE REPORT: A case of known malignant melanoma presenting as new onset obstructive jaundice as a result of a rarely reported metastasis to the ampulla of Vater.

CONCLUSION: Multidisciplinary management of patients with metastatic melanoma is essential.
