Article Synopsis
- - Primary anorectal melanoma is a rare and aggressive cancer with a poor prognosis, often diagnosed late due to advanced stages at presentation.
- - A 57-year-old woman with localized scleroderma presented with a mass sensation and was eventually diagnosed with primary rectal melanoma, leading to neoadjuvant radiotherapy and subsequent surgical resection.
- - Treatment options are limited due to the rarity of the disease, but emerging therapies like anti-CTLA4 drugs show promise; however, the lack of research and guidelines complicates optimal management strategies.
