Case report:52-year-old female patient applied to our hospital with abdominal pain andfatigue. Endoscopy revealed polypoid lesion in stomach. Histopathologically, there were atypicalcells in lamina propria and brown pigment in some cells. These cells werepositive with Melan-A and HMB-45 and negative with Cytokeratin 7 andCytokeratin 20, immunohistochemically. This case was reported as “consistentwith MM”. We have reached to former pathology report of the enucleationoperation, with diagnosis of “MM with epithelioid features”. Tumor waslocalised in the right bulbus oculi with pathological stage pT1a. Systemic scanalso revealed metastatic masses in liver.Conclusion:MM can simulate many other lesions clinically, endoscopically andhistopatholgically and must be keeped in mind all the time, especially in caseswith unknown primary. The patients should be screened for the primary tumor.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Giriş:Malign melanom (MM) insan vücudunda tüm organlara metastaz yapabilmektedir.Gastrointestinal sistem metastazı sık olmakla beraber gastrik mukoza tutulumuoldukça nadirdir. Olgu sunumu:52 yaşında kadın hasta halsizlik ve karın ağrısı şikayeti ile hastanemizebaşvurdu. Yapılan mide endoskopisinde polipoid lezyon izlendi. Midebiyopsisinde lamina propriada atipik hücreler izlendi. Hücrelerin bir kısmındaintrasitoplazmik kahverenkli pigment birikimi dikkati çekti.İmmünohistokimyasal olarak tanımlanan lezyonu oluşturan hücreler Sitokeratin 7ve Sitokeratin 20 ile negatif, Melan-A ve HMB45 ile pozitif boyandı. Olgu “MMile uyumlu” olarak raporlandı. Hastanın iki yıl önce dış merkezde yapılmış olanenukleasyon materyaline ait patoloji raporuna ulaşıldı ve olgunun sağ bulbusokuli posterior yerleşimli, evre pT1a olarak değerlendirilmiş, “EpitelioidMorfolojide MM” tanısı aldığı görüldü. Ayrıca sistemik taramalarda karaciğerdemetastatik lezyonlar saptandı.Sonuç:Klinik, endoskopik ve histomorfolojik olarak birçok patolojiyi taklit edebilenMM; özellikle primeri bilinmeyen durumlarda daima akılda tutulmalı ve hastalarprimer tümör açısından klinik olarak sorgulanmalıdır.</p></trans-abstract>
