Less frequently, metastases occur in the kidneys, adrenal glands, and gastrointestinal (GI) tract, with gastric involvement being particularly rare. 3 In this report, we present a rare case of gastric metastasis from melanoma that led to the discovery of the initially unnoticed primary skin lesion. We describe the endoscopic and histopathological findings, as well as the nonspecific clinical symptoms that prompted the diagnostic investigation. Case report A 62-year-old Caucasian male patient, with a medical history of hypertension and coronary artery disease, presented with diffuse abdominal pain, along with dyspepsia, anorexia and weight loss for the past 6 months. Physical examination revealed abdominal tenderness and multiple fixed and hard nodules of the thoracic and abdominal walls, as well as in the Douglas pouch on rectal examination, suggestive of carcinomatosis. An enlarged, firm, and tender liver was also noted. No jaundice or palpable lymph nodes were observed. Laboratory findings were within the normal range, notably for complete blood count and liver function tests. Abdominal ultrasound (US) showed a non-dysmorphic liver with a heterogenous lobulated hypoechoic mass, vascularised on Doppler, measuring 83 × 60 mm, associated with omental adipose tissue nodule of 37 mm, sharing the same characteristics. On the CT scan ( Figure 1 ), the hepatic mass was isodense, poorly defined, spanning segments V, VII and VIII, showing weak enhancement with contrast, measuring 100 × 60 mm. There were also multiple scattered tissue masses enhanced with contrast, located in the peritoneum, in the retroperitoneum, and sub-peritoneal, as well as in the left adrenal gland. The pancreas was normal. Plus, multiple solid pulmonary nodules were observed, involving all segments, alongside mediastinal and abdominal lymphadenopathies. Figure 1. Computed tomography scan findings. (A): Subcutaneous soft tissue nodule of the anterior right thoracic wall (arrow). (B): Bilateral pulmonary nodules. (C): Hypodense hepatic mass in the right lobe on the portal phase, measuring 100 × 60 millimetres. (D): Intraperitoneal adenomegalies (circle) and heterogeneous nodules in the right perirenal retroperitoneal region. (E): Heterogeneous peritoneal nodules (arrows) and small subcutaneous soft tissue nodules in the right lateral abdominal wall (circle). At this point, widespread metastases were the leading considered diagnosis based on the clinical context and radiological presentation. Alpha-fetoprotein and prostate specific antigen levels were normal. In the investigation for the primary cancer, and given the recent dyspepsia and epigastric pain, an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed revealing a polypoid lesion at the antro-fundic junction measuring 20 mm in diameter, with a depressed and ulcerated centre, containing dark pigmentation ( Figure 2 ). The histological examination showed a tumour proliferation extensively invading the antro-fundic mucosa, composed of discohesive cells, with deposits of brownish pigments. Immunohistochemistry analysis revealed positive staining for melanocytic markers Melan-A, S100 protein and HMB45 ( Figure 3 ). Other markers were negative, namely pancytokeratin, TTF 1, CD 45, chromogranin, and synaptophysin. These findings were consistent with a gastric localisation a melanoma. Figure 2. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy findings. Retroflexion shows an elevated lesion at the antrum-fundus junction with a depressed centre, resembling a volcano appearance, with brown pigments. Figure 3. Histopathological findings of the gastric lesion biopsy. (A): Haematoxylin & eosin staining on x200 magnification shows malignant proliferation infiltrating the gastric mucosa. Tumour cells are pleomorphic and disaggregated, exhibiting marked nuclear atypia with hyperchromatic and sometimes monstruous nuclei (black arrows). Some larger cells with clear cytoplasm were present (white arrows). Deposits of brown pigments are also seen (*). Immunohistochemistry demonstrated positive staining with Melan-A (B) and PS 100 (C). With these results in mind, a thorough skin examination was thus undertaken unveiling a cutaneous lesion in the back, manifesting as a circumscribed pink nodule of 8 mm with brown discoloration ( Figure 4 ). Figure 4. Cutaneous lesion in the back. It appears as a circumscribed dark pink nodule measuring 8 millimetres in diameter with areas of brown discoloration. The lesion also has a slightly irregular surface and a surrounding area of erythema. Histological assessment of the skin lesion biopsy confirmed nodular melanoma, with immunohistochemistry showing positive staining for Melan-A, HMB45, and p16 ( Figure 5 ). Figure 5. Histopathological findings of the skin lesion biopsy. (A): Haematoxylin & eosin staining on x100 magnification shows malignant cellular proliferation (*) in the dermis, composed of vaguely naevoid cells and larger cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, atypical pleomorphic nucleolated nuclei, and no junctional activity. On immunohistochemistry, tumour cells exhibit positive staining for HMB45 (B), Melan-A (C), and p16 (D). Ultimately, the diagnosis of malignant cutaneous melanoma with diffuse multi-organ metastases, particularly involving the stomach, was confirmed. Subsequently, the patient’s general condition deteriorated, precluding the initiation of planned palliative chemotherapy. Supportive care was provided, including pain management, with a documented follow-up of 6 months. Discussion The stomach is an unusual metastatic site, accounting for 2.6% of secondary lesions, particularly from breast, lung, and melanoma. Melanoma frequently metastasizes to the GI tract, with cutaneous melanoma primarily affecting the upper GI tract, while uveal melanoma tends to spread to the liver. 4 , 5 An autopsy study of 216 patients with advanced malignant melanoma found the GI system to be the second most common metastatic site, after lymph nodes (73.6%) and lungs (71.3%). 6 In this series, GI metastases were often part of multiple-organ involvement (95%), with secondary gastric melanoma in 22.7% of cases. Liver metastases were observed in 58.3% of cases. Other GI metastases included the peritoneum (42.6%), pancreas (37.5%), small bowel (35.6%), spleen (30.6%), colon (28.2%), oral cavity, oesophagus (9.3%), and biliary tract (8.8%). A similar autopsy study of 100 patients with cutaneous melanoma found gastric involvement in 26%. 7 Despite these findings, GI metastases seem to be often subclinical, with clinical series showing much lower incidence, such as intestinal metastases in only 1% to 7% of cases. 3 Consistent with these reports, our patient presented with disseminated melanoma affecting multiple organs, including the lungs, liver, stomach, subcutaneous tissue, adrenal gland, peritoneum, and lymph nodes. Also, gastric metastases from melanoma may be present at diagnosis or develop years later, indicating recurrence. 8 A recent systematic review by Reggiani et al. 9 included 113 patients with gastric melanoma metastases, predominantly from skin primary lesions (62%). Most patients were male (64%) with a median age of 63 years. Only 10% were asymptomatic, while common symptoms included bleeding (34.5%), abdominal pain (34.5%), anorexia and weight loss (23%), and nausea/vomiting (17.7%). Dyspepsia was noted in 5.3%. Gastric metastases were single in 42.5% and mostly located in the gastric body (60.2%). However, variability in lesion descriptions across studies prevented the identification of consistent endoscopic features. Nelson et al. 10 proposed an endoscopic classification for GI melanoma metastases with three types: 1) melanotic nodules on normal folds with ulcerated tips; 2) elevated submucosal lesions with ulcerated centres, sometimes with visible melanin, often described as volcano-like or donut-shaped, 9 as seen in our case; and 3) mass lesions with necrosis and melanosis. Such protruding lesions, especially with brown deposits, should raise suspicion for gastric melanoma. Other descriptions include polypoid masses, small nodules, and black spots. 5 , 8 , 11 GI melanoma metastases can resemble primary gastric cancer or other gastric metastases, 5 , 9 , 11 making histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry essential for diagnosis. These metastases typically show positive staining for melanocytic markers, 12 as seen in both our gastric and skin lesions. However, phenotypic switching during tumour progression can cause loss of typical immunophenotypic features, such as Melan-A, HMB45, S100, and SOX 10. 12 , 13 In such cases, molecular testing for melanoma-related mutations like BRAF, NRAS, and NF1 may be necessary. 13 For our patient, the diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological findings and the typical immunohistochemical profile, without the need for further tests. Metastatic melanoma has a poor prognosis, with distant metastatic burden being a key prognostic factor. Non-pulmonary visceral metastases and elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase are linked to worse survival, with a one-year survival rate of 33%. 14 , 15 In the above-mentioned systematic review of gastric melanoma metastases, the median survival was 3 months, with 16% and 4% survival rates at 1 and 2 years, respectively. 9 Survival was notably lower with multiple gastric lesions compared to a single metastasis. GI resections have been performed in localised metastasis, with evidence of possible prolonged remission, or as an emergency procedure for complicated cases like GI bleeding or perforation. 8 , 16 However, our patient presented extensive metastatic disease and hence was not a proper candidate for surgery. Systemic treatments, particularly immunotherapy, are now the preferred first-line therapy for metastatic melanoma, showing promising survival benefits. 17 Unfortunately, immunotherapy was unavailable at the time, and the patient’s rapid decline precluded chemotherapy. Conclusion GI metastases, particularly in the stomach, are rare, with melanoma being the most common cancer to spread to this site. This case highlights how a gastric metastasis revealed an underlying malignant cutaneous melanoma. A protruding gastric lesion with dark pigmentation during endoscopy should raise suspicion of melanoma, warranting a thorough skin examination for potentially overlooked lesions, which is also crucial in widespread metastatic disease. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis remain the gold standards for diagnosis. In cases of widespread metastases, palliative systemic treatment, including chemotherapy or immunotherapy, is preferred, with surgery reserved for selected oligometastatic cases. Despite treatment, the prognosis remains poor. Consent Written informed consent for publication of their clinical details and/or clinical images was obtained from the patient.

Continue reading READ ALL I have two queries: 1. The authors should rewrite the following sentence : ". These metastases typically show melanocytic features, including cytological atypia, pleomorphism, and positive staining for melanocytic markers, 12 as seen in both our gastric and skin lesions. However, phenotypic switching during tumour progression can cause loss of typical immunophenotypic features, such as Melan-A, HMB45, S100, and SOX 10. 12 , 13 In such cases, molecular testing for melanoma-related mutations like BRAF, NRAS, and NF1 may be necessary. 13 " Cytologic atypia and pleomorphism are clues to malignancy and not clues to melanoma. Having said this, I agree that metastatic melanoma may 'dedifferentiate' (the Authors might add a reference) and lose some or even ALL the pan-melanocytic immunohistochemical markers, thereby requiring molecular investigation. 2. The Authors should explain the meaning of the sentence 'who can see the elephant in the room?': something which is self-evident (in this case, the cutaneous primary) and is nevertheless at risk of being missed.

Continue reading READ ALL Overall the manuscript seems to be worth of indexing, because physical examination of the skin may be neglected when a patient discloses severe systemic symptoms. I have the following suggestions: 1. I suggest the Authors to rethink of the title by looking for some appealing features of the case (e.g.: can you see the elephant in the room?) 2. The manuscript must be shortened; no need to define melanoma; no need to itemize the cytomorphological feature of the cells on gastric biopsy 3. Besides being too long, the discussion is untidy.

Continue reading We greatly appreciate your constructive feedback on our manuscript. We have carefully considered your suggestions and made the following revisions: Title Revision : In response to your suggestion, we have revised the title to make it more engaging and reflective of the core aspect of the case. We believe the new title highlights the critical role of the gastric metastasis in revealing the previously undetected cutaneous melanoma, aligning with the key feature of the case. Manuscript Shortening : As recommended, we have shortened the manuscript by removing the definition of melanoma and the detailed itemization of the cytomorphological features in the gastric biopsy section. Several sentences have also been reformulated in order to reduce the word count. These changes have streamlined the manuscript, keeping the focus on the essential points of the case. Discussion Structure : We have reorganized the discussion section as per your suggestion. We have followed a structured approach in presenting this section, starting with the frequency of GI and gastric metastasis (referencing two autopsy studies in the first paragraph to highlight the prevalence of GI involvement). Subsequent sections discuss (in order) clinical presentation, endoscopic findings, histopathological findings, prognosis, treatment, and finally, the strengths and limitations of the case. Autopsy studies were only included in the first paragraph to support the epidemiology of GI metastasis, while the remainder of the references are clinical studies. To improve conciseness and readability, we have streamlined the discussion by removing redundant sentences without compromising key points. We believe these revisions have enhanced the clarity and focus of the manuscript. Thank you once again for your valuable suggestions, which have significantly improved our work.

In this revised version: We have changed the title to “Overlooked Skin Melanoma Unveiled by Gastric Metastasis” to improve clarity and lift any confusion noted in previous versions, while preserving the intended message. As requested, we have removed the sentence referring to cytological atypia and pleomorphism as typical features of melanoma. The statement regarding phenotypic dedifferentiation of metastatic melanoma has been retained, with references 12 and 13 appropriately cited to support the information, as suggested. We hope these revisions meet the reviewer’s expectations and further enhance the clarity and value of the manuscript.

Not approved Fundamental flaws in the paper seriously undermine the findings and conclusions I have two queries: 1. The authors should rewrite the following sentence : ". These metastases typically show melanocytic features, including cytological atypia, pleomorphism, and positive staining for melanocytic markers, 12 as seen in both our gastric and skin lesions. However, phenotypic switching during tumour progression can cause loss of typical immunophenotypic features, such as Melan-A, HMB45, S100, and SOX 10. 12 , 13 In such cases, molecular testing for melanoma-related mutations like BRAF, NRAS, and NF1 may be necessary. 13 " Cytologic atypia and pleomorphism are clues to malignancy and not clues to melanoma. Having said this, I agree that metastatic melanoma may 'dedifferentiate' (the Authors might add a reference) and lose some or even ALL the pan-melanocytic immunohistochemical markers, thereby requiring molecular investigation. 2. The Authors should explain the meaning of the sentence 'who can see the elephant in the room?': something which is self-evident (in this case, the cutaneous primary) and is nevertheless at risk of being missed. Competing Interests No competing interests were disclosed. Reviewer Expertise Anatomic Pathology, Dermatopathology I confirm that I have read this submission and believe that I have an appropriate level of expertise to confirm that it is of an acceptable scientific standard, however I have significant reservations, as outlined above. reply Respond to this report Responses (1) Author Response 11 Sep 2025 Ramzi Tababi, Gastroenterology Department, Mohamed Taher Maamouri University Hospital Nabeul, Mrezga, Tunisia Professor, Thank you for your continued guidance. Regarding the title, we initially proposed "Gastric Metastasis revealing a Disseminated Skin Melanoma: A Case Report and Literature Review." Following your previous suggestion, we changed it to "Who can see the elephant in the room?" to reflect the idea of an obvious but potentially overlooked primary lesion. However, we understand that the current version may still be unclear. As we have revised the title multiple times based on your feedback, we would be very grateful if you could kindly suggest the exact title you believe would be most appropriate for the manuscript. In the meantime, we are working on addressing the other comments you raised. View more View less Competing Interests No competing interests were disclosed. reply Respond Report a concern Ferrara G.

Who can see the elephant in the room? this means that something self-evident is at risk of being missed. 2. This case highlights the need for a rigorous skin examination when dealing with widespread metastatic disease 3. "Disintegrated cells" is funny. Discohesive is better 4. Is Figure 3B a MART1 stain.

Not approved Fundamental flaws in the paper seriously undermine the findings and conclusions Overall the manuscript seems to be worth of indexing, because physical examination of the skin may be neglected when a patient discloses severe systemic symptoms. I have the following suggestions: 1. I suggest the Authors to rethink of the title by looking for some appealing features of the case (e.g.: can you see the elephant in the room?) 2. The manuscript must be shortened; no need to define melanoma; no need to itemize the cytomorphological feature of the cells on gastric biopsy 3. Besides being too long, the discussion is untidy. I suggest grouping clinical studies on one side, and autopsy studies on the other one Is the background of the case’s history and progression described in sufficient detail?
