Abstract

Anorectal 
malignant  melanoma (AMM) is a
rare malignant disease with a poor prognosis. This disease is often confused
with hemorrhoids. The most common site of malignant melanoma  following skin and eye involvement is the
anorectal region. This is the most commonly involved site in the
gastrointestinal tract. We report the case of a 67-year-old patient with lower
gastrointestinal hemorrhage for 4 months and hemorrhoid treatment for 2 months.
The imaging revealed no distant metastasis but histopathologically, lymph node
metastasis and invasion of surrounding tissues. Laparoscopic abdominoperineal
resection (APR) was performed.

Abstract

Anorektal  melanom 
( AMM )  ender  görülen, 
kötü  prognozlu  malign 
bir  hastalıktır.  Bu 
hastalık  sıklıkla  hemoroid 
ile  karışmaktadır.  Malign 
melanomanın  deri  ve 
göz  tutulumundan  sonra 
en  sık  görüldüğü 
bölge  anorektal  bölgedir. 
Bu  bölge  gastrointestinal  sistemde 
en  sık  olarak 
tutulan  bölgedir. Biz  67 
yaşında,  4  aydır 
makattan  kanama  şikayetleri 
olan, 2  aydır  da  hemoroid  tedavisi 
uygulanan  hastayı  sunduk. 
Yapılan  görüntülemelerde  hastanın 
uzak  metastazının  olmadığı 
ancak  histopatolojik  olarak 
lenf  nodu  metastazının 
ve  çevre  dokulara 
invazyonun  olduğu  izlendi. 
Hastaya  laparoskopik  abdominoperineal  rezeksiyon 
( APR )  yapıldı.
