Key Words Primary malignant melanoma of esophagus; Squamous cell carcinoma; Endoscopic submucosal dissection; Immunohistochemistry; Case report
Core Tip Primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus (PMME) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are rarely synchronous. We report a unique collision tumor comprising PMME with SCC in a 60-year-old male. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) achieved R0 resection; postoperative stricture was managed with a balloon dilator. No recurrence was observed within the 19-month follow-up. This case suggests that ESD is a feasible treatment modality for incidental microscopic melanoma foci. However, radical surgery remains the standard therapy, and intensive surveillance is mandatory.
