Abstract

A patient with a large duodenal melanoma metastasis, involving adjacent jejunum and colon, is presented. Treatment consisted of a combination of radical surgery and active specific immunotherapy by means of an autologous tumor cell vaccine and BCG after which a recurrence-free survival of now more than 10 years has been observed. The role of surgery and immunotherapy in the treatment of metastatic melanoma are discussed.
