A 57-year-old man presented with a 4-month history of worsening symptoms of oesophageal obstruction. The physical examination was unremarkable. An oesophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed an exophytic tumour in the distal oesophagus. A biopsy demonstrated malignant melanoma. Staging of the melanoma showed disseminated lymph node and bony-spine metastases. He had no prior history of cutaneous or ocular melanoma. Following full multidisciplinary team input, he was palliated with a metal mesh stent and immunotherapy. He died 3 months later following community management.
