Primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus is rare. Reports on approximately 112 cases have appeared in the world literature. We report the 113th case in the eldest known patient at the time of diagnosis. Endoscopic neodymium-yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser coagulation, in conjunction with radiation therapy, was performed. This nonsurgical treatment combination appears to provide adequate palliative therapy for primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus.
原发性食管恶性黑色素瘤很罕见。世界文献中已报道了约112例相关病例。我们报告了第113例病例，该患者为确诊时已知年龄最大的患者。我们对其实施了内镜下钕钇铝石榴石激光凝固术联合放射治疗。这种非手术治疗组合似乎可为原发性食管恶性黑色素瘤提供充分的姑息治疗。
