Gastric Outlet Obstruction (GOO) is a common clinical condition. The commonest causes are benign gastric ulcer and gastric cancer involving the antrum. Malignant melanoma of the duodenum causing GOO is extremely rare. We herein present a rare case of malignant melanoma involving the first part of duodenum and proximal jejunum who presented with features of gastric outlet obstruction.
