Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.
