Primary malignant melanoma of the oesophagus is both a rare presentation for melanoma and a cause of oesophageal neoplasm. It accounts for less than 0.1% of all primary oesophageal neoplasms. It was first recognised as a primary tumour by de la Pava et al who showed the presence of melanocytes within oesophageal mucosa. This case report includes a review of the surgical pathology. Even though it is a rare lesion it must be considered as a cause of polypoidal oesophageal lesions as both its diagnosis and treatment can present problems. It is usually fatal within one year.
原发性食管恶性黑色素瘤既是黑色素瘤的一种罕见表现形式，也是食管肿瘤的一个病因。它占所有原发性食管肿瘤的比例不到0.1%。它最早由德拉帕瓦等人确认为原发性肿瘤，他们发现食管黏膜内存在黑素细胞。本病例报告包括手术病理回顾。尽管它是一种罕见病变，但因其诊断和治疗均可能存在问题，所以必须将其视为息肉样食管病变的一个病因。它通常在一年内致命。
