Özet
Malignant melanoma can metastasize to the gastrointestinal tract as it can metastasize to many parts of the body. Small bowel is the most common involvement in gastrointestinal tract, while gastric involvement is rare. A 82-year-old male patient who presented to the emergency department with complaints of hematemesis and melena had a large number of black polypoid masses in the gastric corpus and antrum in his gastroscopic examination. And the result of the biopsy taken from that part, was malignant melanoma. In this way, it is very rare that a patient who is not known to have malignant melanoma, presents with upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
