Locally advanced anorectal malignant melanoma in septuagenarian patient treated by laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection: A case report.

Introduction: Anorectal malignant melanoma (ARMM) is a rare disease with a poor prognosis. In cases involving locally advanced disease, the treatment strategy is difficult, especially in octogenarian patients, because the prognosis is poor, despite the corresponding decrease or loss of the anal function.

Presentation Of Case: A 78-year-old woman was admitted to a local hospital with chief complaints of severe anal discomfort due to an egg-sized tumor that was protruding out of the anus and melena.
