Abstract

Malign melanom is a disease affecting many organs but rarely seen in gallbladder. Distinction of isolated tumors from primary gallbladder tumors or metastatic disease can not be made in most cases. Mainly the complaints of acute cholecystitis appears. Mostly this clinical condition is not doubted when the primary tumor is not found. In cases with poor prognosis , very few patients benefit from surgery. The role of surgery is limited in malign melanoma of gallbladder because of low experience. Different surgical procedures should be applied to primary gallbladder melanoma and metastatic disease. Patients should be evaluated in a multidisciplinary manner with new therapeutic methods. We report here on an unusual case of gallbladder melanoma that was diagnosed by pathological examination in 46-year-old woman.

Özet

Malign melanom birçok organı etkilemesine rağmen safra kesesinde görülmesi nadir görülen bir durumdur. İzole tümörlerin, primer safra kesesinden mi veya başka bir bölgeden metastatik mi olduğu çoğunlukla ayrılamaz. Genellikle akut kolesistit şikayetleri ile ortaya çıkar. Çoğunlukla primer odak tespit edilemeyen olgularda bu klinik durumdan şüphelenilmez. Prognozu çok kötü seyreden bu olgularda, sınırlı sayıdaki vaka cerrahi tedaviden fayda görmektedir. Safra kesesi malign melanomu cerrahi tedavisinin rolü deneyim azlığı nedeniyle net değildir. Primer safra kesesi kaynaklı olduğu düşünülen olgular ile metastatik olduğu düşünülen olgulara farklı cerrahi girişim uygulanmalıdır. Hastalar yeni tedavi yöntemleri ile birlikte ve multidisipliner bir yaklaşım ile değerlendirilmelidir. Biz bu çalışmada litaratürde nadir olarak görülen ve operasyon sonrası patolojik incelemede tanısı konan safra kesesi malign melanomu olgusunu sunmaktayız.
