Anorectal amelanocytic malignant melanoma: Case report

Primer anal malign melanom, anal bölgenin nadir görülen bir patolojisidir. Genellikle anal melanomaya hemoroid ya da anal polip olarak yanlış tanı konulmakta, bununla birlikte tanı ve tedavideki bu gecikme hastalığın komplike bir tablo ile karşımıza çıkmasına neden olmaktadır. Kemoterapi ve radyoterapinin yararlılığı sınırlıdır. Cerrahi standart tedavi yöntemi olup abdominoperineal rezeksiyon (APR) veya genişletilmiş lokal eksizyon en sık tercih edilen yöntemlerdir. Biz bu yazıda 55 yaşında APR ameliyatı yapılan nüks anorektal malign melanomu olan erkek hastayı sunmayı amaçladık.

Anorektal amelanositik malign melanom: Olgu sunumu

Primary anal malignant melanoma is a rare tumor of the anal region. Usually it was misdiagnosed as hemorrhoids or anal polyp so delayed diagnosis can lead complicated status of the disease.Clinical and histopathological diagnosis may be difficult due to uncommon presentation and smilar morphological findings when compared with other malignant anal tumors. Effectiveness of the chemotherapy and radiotheraphy are limited. Surgical resection is still seen as standart treatment option and abdominoperineal resection (APR) and wide local excision are the most preferred methods. In this paper we presented 55 year-old male patient with recurrent anal malignant melanoma treated with abdominoperineal resection.
