Abstract

Malignant melanoma is a rare entity in the rectum. Long-term survival is rare, as most patients die of disseminated systemic disease regardless of treatment. For this reason, some authors do not consider extensive radical surgery as the treatment of choice. We describe here a case of this rare entity.

Özet

Malign melanoma rektumdaki nadir oluşumlardandır. Uzun dönemde hayatta kalma süresi, hastalığın tanı konduğunda yayılması sebebiyle çok düşüktür. Bu sebepten dolayı, bazı yazarlar bu hastalarda tedavi seçeneği olarak radikal cerrahinin düşünülmemesi görüşündedirler. Bu olgumuz, bu nadir oluşuma bir örnektir.
