A case of primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus is reported, followed by a review of the literature. The clinical presentation of this uncommon tumor is similar to esophageal carcinoma and the preoperative diagnosis may be difficult. A total esophagectomy is the treatment of choice. The prognosis remains poor despite aggressive treatment.
本文报告了一例原发性食管恶性黑色素瘤病例，并对相关文献进行了综述。这种罕见肿瘤的临床表现与食管癌相似，术前诊断可能较为困难。全食管切除术是首选的治疗方法。尽管采取了积极的治疗措施，但其预后仍然较差。
