Surgical treatment of primary non-pigmented colon melanoma: a case report

https://doi.org/10.25789/YMJ.2022.79.08

Abstract

Primary colonic melanoma is a rare malignant tumor with an aggressive course and a poor prognosis. The extremely low incidence of this pathology is due to the fact that there are no melanocytes in the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, from which the tumor develops. The development of non-pigmented melanoma are even rarer. Due to the lack of clinical guidelines for the treatment of primary colonic melanoma, therapy is mainly carried out empirically. The article describes a clinical case that demonstrates the possibilities of surgical treatment of primary non-pigmented melanoma of the colon with satisfactory oncological results.
