Abstract
- A primary anorectal malignant melanoma is a rare tumor. Moreover, cases involving a synchronous anorectal melanoma and colon adenocarcinoma are extremely rare. The authors report a case of a synchronous anorectal melanoma and sigmoid adenocarcinoma in an 84-year-old man. The regions of the anorectal melanoma showed melanocytic nevi in the adjacent mucosa of the anal canal and rectum. A dysplastic nevus was also identified in the anal mucosa. This case demonstrates that an anorectal melanoma can arise from pre-existing anorectal melanocytic lesions.
