Melanoma anorrectal, reporte de un caso y revisión de la literatura

Abstract: El melanoma anorrectal es un tumor raro de origen neuroectodérmico que constituye el 1% de los tumores malignos colorrectales y entre el 0.4 y 1.6% de los melanomas en general. Habitualmente son lesiones polipoides con o sin pigmentación. En el momento del diagnóstico, el 60% de los pacientes presentan afectación ganglionar y el 20% metástasis a distancia. Para su estadifi cación, se utiliza el sistema simplifi cado de Ballantyne. Tiene un peor pronóstico en comparación con el melanoma cutáneo. La cirugía es e… Show more

“…It shows a higher incidence in women than in men, however, specific risk factors have not yet been identified. Unlike skin melanoma, which has been directly linked to exposure to ultraviolet rays, tobacco use, or human papillomavirus infection; for its part, in the case of melanoma of the anal mucosa, there are no well-established causal factors; however, related cases have been described in patients with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus, where intensity and duration of immunodeficiency in the immune system play an important role [11].…”

“…It is limited the knowledge about the etiology, pathogenesis and genetics, these, makes correct and timely diagnosis difficult. It represents only 1.3% of all melanomas and 16.5% of mucosal melanomas [10][11][12]. The prevalence is 1.6 to 2.3 times higher in women than in men.…”

“…Se sitúa dentro de los melanomas mucosos y con frecuencia, con diagnóstico tardío a causa de su localización, por su difícil acceso a la exploración y por su sintomatología inespecífica. Como resultado presagia un mal pronóstico ya que con frecuencia se diagnostica como enfermedad avanzada con grandes lesiones (1,2). Por lo tanto, la morbilidad, mortalidad y recurrencia de la enfermedad son altas, con una tasa actual de supervivencia de 5 años que oscila entre el 12-20%.…”

“…El melanoma cutáneo afecta principalmente en áreas expuestas al sol, por eso, cerca del 95% de los pacientes afectados son de raza caucásica. La teoría más aceptada con la aparición de la malignidad en el área del recto no expuesta al sol, se origina con los melanocitos del epitelio rectal (1,3).…”
