- background. Malignant melanoma is the most common met‐astatic tumor of the gastrointestinal tract and can present with abdominal pain, small bowel obstruction, or occult gastrointestinal bleeding. Diagnosing abdominal pain due to metastatic melanoma is best accomplished by intraluminal studies and computed tomography.
