Abstract
|
|
|
A 42-year-old woman presented with intermittent rectal bleeding of a week's duration. A large polypoid mass with pigmented; ulcerated, nodular surface was seen in the rectum at 3cm from the anal verge during flexible sigmoidoscopy. A histologic
diagnosis of metastatic melanoma was made on light microscopic examination of biopsies obtained at sigmoidoscopy.
The presence of metastatic melanoma at sites other than the rectum was found at the skin, pleura and lung. We report a case of metastatic malignant melanoma of the rectum with the review of the literature.
