Primary malignant melanoma of the oesophagus is an exceedingly rare oesophageal neoplasm. It accounts for less than 0.1% of all primary oesophageal tumours. Less than 262 cases have been documented till today. Surgical resection with re-establishment of gastrointestinal continuity is the treatment of choice. However, haematogenic and lymphogenic metastases are common and despite advances in surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, this tumour continues to be a highly aggressive neoplasm with poor prognosis. The case of a 64 year-old lady with this tumour is presented.
原发性食管恶性黑色素瘤是一种极其罕见的食管肿瘤。它占所有原发性食管肿瘤的比例不到0.1%。迄今为止，记录在案的病例不足262例。手术切除并重建胃肠道连续性是首选的治疗方法。然而，血行转移和淋巴转移很常见，尽管在手术、放疗和化疗方面取得了进展，但这种肿瘤仍然是一种侵袭性很强、预后很差的肿瘤。本文介绍了一位患有这种肿瘤的64岁女性的病例。
