Localized Disease

Malignant melanoma especially primary melanoma is uncommon in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. GI melanomas are usually metastatic from skin melanoma. Anorectal region and small bowel are the most common sites of primary and metastatic GI melanoma respectively. Various theories have been put forward to explain the origin of Primary Melanoma of Small intestine. Melanomas of the GI tract can produce range of symptoms based on their location and size. Surgery is the main stay of treatment for localized disease. We reported a case of primary duodenal melanoma which was managed by surgically.

Primary Bladder

Skin melanoma represents one of the most common and lethal solid tumor. It usually develops on the skin but it can occur in any tissues with melanine- containing-cells (extracutaneous malignant melanoma). Only 4-5% of malignant melanomas originate in extracutaneous tissues, and they have an extremely lethal behavior (1). These non-skin malignant melanomas are rare but extremely aggressive. Primary melanoma of the genitourinary tract accounts for less than 0.2% of all melanomas. To date only 28 cases of primary bladder melanoma (PMM) are described. We report a rare case of PMM of the bladder in a 72 years old man treated with radical cystectomy and immunotherapy with Nivolumab.

Aggressive Disease

Melanomas affecting the small bowel are usually metastasis from primary cutaneous lesions. A primary melanoma of the gastrointestinal tract is very rare with reported incidence of just 3%. We present a case of small bowel melanoma with liver metastases. Primary malignant melanoma of the small intestine is quite rare with only a few cases reported in literature. Like its cutaneous counterpart, intestinal melanomas too remains an aggressive disease with a poor prognosis. The overall survival of malignant melanoma affecting the GI tract is 4 to 6 months with a survival rate of less than 10% at 5 years.

Abstract A gastric duplication cyst (GDC) is an uncommon gastrointestinal (GI) tract anomaly in adults. Nonspecific symptoms make it difficult to diagnose, while radiological examination might be helpful. However, the final diagnosis is made after eradication and histopathological study. Herein we report a case of an asymptomatic, incidentally diagnosed gastric duplication cyst discovered during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in a 55-year-old female.
