摘要：

Introduction: Melanoma of gastrointestinal tract can be either primary or secondary to metastases from other sites like skin, mucous membranes, and uvea. Primary gastrointestinal melanoma is rare and still rarer is stomach involvement. Case Report: We report a case of primary malignant melanoma of stomach in a 50-year-old female who presented with an axillary lymphadenopathy. Conclusion: Melanoma of stomach is rare. It has characteristic endoscopic appearance. Differentiation of primary from secondary melanoma is possible on clinical behavior and histological characteristics. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
