We report herein a rare case of primary esophageal malignant melanoma in a 49-year-old Japanese woman who presented with a 3-week history of dysphagia. Esophagogram and esophagoscopy demonstrated a polypoid tumor in the upper to mid-thoracic portion of the esophagus, and a radical subtotal esophagectomy was performed through a right thoracotomy. Histological and immunohistochemical studies proved this tumor to be a primary esophageal malignant melanoma. She received no postoperative adjuvant therapy and no signs of recurrence have been clinically observed for the 22 months since her operation.
我们在此报告一例罕见的原发性食管恶性黑色素瘤病例，患者为一名49岁的日本女性，有3周的吞咽困难病史。食管造影和食管镜检查显示食管中上段有一个息肉样肿瘤，通过右胸切口进行了根治性次全食管切除术。组织学和免疫组化研究证实该肿瘤为原发性食管恶性黑色素瘤。她术后未接受辅助治疗，自手术以来的22个月里临床上未观察到复发迹象。
