Abstract

Primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus (PMME) is an extremely rare malignant tumor. Primary amelanotic malignant melanoma is a subtype of PMME which shows no pigmentation under esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). A lack of understanding of this disease makes it susceptible to misdiagnosis and limits its treatment options. Here, we reported a case which misdiagnosed as esophageal polyps with malignant transformation or esophageal cancer when observed on gastroscopy examination, while proved as primary amelanotic malignant melanoma by immunohistochemistry in our department. The aim of this study is to draw the attention of physicians by describing a case of primary amelanotic malignant melanoma and to aid in the diagnosis of this disease in the future.

食管原发性无黑色素瘤恶性黑色素瘤1例。
原发性食道恶性黑色素瘤是一种极为罕见的恶性肿瘤。原发性无色素变性恶性黑色素瘤是PMME的一种亚型,在食管胃十二指肠镜(EGD)下无色素沉着。对这种疾病缺乏了解使其容易误诊并限制其治疗选择。我们报告了一例胃镜检查误诊为食管息肉伴恶性转化或食管癌,而经免疫组化证实为原发性无色素变性恶性黑色素瘤的病例。本研究的目的是通过描述一个原发性无黑色素瘤恶性黑色素瘤的病例来引起医生的注意,并有助于将来对这种疾病的诊断。
