| Core Tip |
Anorectal melanoma is a rare type of melanoma and the tumour with the worst prognosis among mucous melanomas. The location and nonspecific symptoms of anorectal melanoma make it difficult to detect. Even histological examination can be misleading in the absence of obvious pigmentation and suspicion raised by the clinician to induce immunohistochemical examination. In this context, the diagnosis is late, in advanced stages, and the rarity of cases has not allowed the development of treatment guidelines. |
