Abstract

The aim of this report is to highlight the challenges involved in the diagnosis and treatment of anal melanoma in a tertiary hospital in Nigeria. It is a case report of an 84-year-old man who was managed for anal malignant melanoma. Despite inadequate investigative tools and less radical surgical treatment, the survival period of the index patient was comparable to the median survival quoted in the literature. Despite its rarity, mucosal melanomas also occur in the tropics. Prompt diagnosis, adequate imaging, and standardized treatment may improve its outlook in the nearest future.

摘要

本报告旨在强调尼日利亚一家三级医院在肛管黑色素瘤诊断和治疗中所面临的挑战。这是一例关于一名84岁男性肛管恶性黑色素瘤的病例报告。尽管调查工具不足且手术治疗不够彻底，但该病例患者的生存期与文献中引用的中位生存期相当。尽管黏膜黑色素瘤罕见，但在热带地区也有发生。及时诊断、充分的影像学检查和标准化治疗可能在不久的将来改善其预后。
