Abstract

Objective: Anorectal malignant melanoma is a rare tumor with poor prognosis. In this study, it was aimed to present our surgical results by reviewing the literature retrospectively in 11 patients who underwent surgery for ARMM in our clinic. Material and Methods: The patients who underwent surgery for anorectal malignant melanoma in Yuksek İhtisas Training and Research Hospital between 2007-2018 were included in the study. Results: Four patients were males and seven were females. Mean age was 54.18. The tumor was in the rectum in 4 cases, in the anorectal region in 3 cases and in the anal canal in 4 cases. Wide local excision was performed in 3 cases and APR was performed in 8 cases. Four of the cases were stage I, 6 were stage II and 1 was stage III. Mean tumor size was 4.73 cm, and mean tumor depth was 13.6 mm. Mean number of metastatic lymph nodes was 10.37. Median survival was 12 months. Conclusion: Anorectal malignant melanoma is a type of tumor diagnosed in late and advanced stages due to lack of specific findings. Although ARMM is rare, when rectal bleeding, pain, hemorrhoids and changes in bowel habits are observed, ARMM should be kept in mind.

Özet

Giriş ve Amaç: Anorektal malign melanom kötü prognozu olan nadir bir tümördür. Bu çalışmada, kliniğimizde ARMM ameliyatı geçiren 11 hastada literatürü retrospektif olarak inceleyerek cerrahi sonuçlarımızı sunmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: 2007-2018 yılları arasında Yüksek İhtisas Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesinde anorektal malign melanom nedeniyle ameliyat edilen hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Bulgular: Dört hasta erkek, yedi hasta kadındı. Yaş ortalaması 54,18 idi. Tümör 4 olguda rektumda, 3 olguda anorektal bölgede ve 4 olguda anal kanalda idi. Üç olguya geniş lokal eksizyon, 8 olguya APR uygulandı. Olguların dördü evre I, 6’sı evre II ve 1’i evre III idi. Ortalama tümör boyutu 4,73 cm ve ortalama tümör derinliği 13,6 mm idi. Ortalama metastatik lenf nodu sayısı 10,37 idi. Ortanca sağ kalım 12 aydı. Sonuç: Anorektal malign melanom, spesifik bulguların olmaması nedeniyle geç ve ileri evrelerde teşhis edilen bir kanser türüdür. ARMM nadir olmasına rağmen, rektal kanama, ağrı, hemoroid ve barsak alışkanlıklarındaki değişiklikler gözlendiğinde ARMM akılda tutulmalıdır.
