Isolated Small Intestinal Melanoma is virtually unheard of. This is a case presentation of a patient who presented with Intussusception and Intestinal Obstruction. At Laparotomy, a Black Nodule was found in the Intestine, which was the leading point of the Ileo-Colic Intussusception, and multiple black Mesenteric Lymph Nodes were found. Right Meicolectomy and Transverse Anatomosis was dome. Patient made and uneventful recovery.
