Metastatic melanoma to the gastrointestinal tract is not uncommon with the small intestine
representing the most common site of gastrointestinal metastases. The occurrence of
primary melanoma of the small intestine, however, is rare. We describe a case of primary
melanoma of the small intestine and establish criteria for distinction between primary and
metastatic small intestinal melanoma.(J Am Acad Dermatol 1999; 41: 1042-4.)
