Here, we present the case of an 85-year-old female patient with a three-month history of progressive dysphagia and heartburn-related epigastric pain. Endoscopy revealed a polypoid esophageal lesion, confirmed as melanoma via biopsy with positive immunohistochemical staining for Melan-A and SOX-10.

Extramedullary infiltration of acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (ALL) to genital organs is extremely rare. Here, we present a case report of an asymptomatic 49-year-old female, known case of precursor B-cell ALL, who was incidentally detected with thickened and heterogeneously hyperechoic endometrium on sonography. Contrast magnetic resonance imaging detected large polypoidal enhancing lesions showing intense diffusion restriction occupying the endometrial cavity and similar lesions in the left adnexa, left ovary, and fallopian tube which were suspicious for leukemic infiltration because of the clinical history and atypical appearance of the lesions.
