Περίληψη:
Primary anorectal melanoma is a rare and aggressive disease. Patients
commonly complain for changes in bowel habits and rectal bleeding, and
proctoscopically they mostly appear as non pigmented or lightly
pigmented polypoid lesions. Such a lesion should always raise a high
index of suspicion in any gastroenterologist or surgeon to prompt
surgery, since early radical excision is the only treatment option.
Herein, we report a case of a 57-year-old man with a diffuse anal canal
melanoma and give reference to the current diagnostic and treatment
options.
