AbstractRectal hemorrhage should be evaluated within a wide spectrum ranging from benign diseases to a malignant process. Especially, the melanomas of rectum are detected at an advanced stage when diagnosed since the present symptoms of rectal melanomas are similar. The question of what will be the surgical approach with MR, CT, and PET-CT imaging methods performed after histopathological diagnosis still conserves its topicality. PET-CT is a good imaging method for determination of distant metastasis and lymphatic involvement. In the present case, a patient with early-stage rectal melanoma was treated with APR. No relapse/metastasis was detected during the 18-month follow-up. The aggressive course of the disease and its low response rates to medical treatments may cause the surgical approaches to be more extensive.

Background: Primary rectal melanoma is a very rare and aggressive malignancy. It is defined as melanoma arising in the rectal mucosa, more than 4 cm from the anal verge. Objective: A case of primary rectal melanoma is reported, and the theories of the etiology of melanoma are reviewed. Methods and Results: This article reports a case of a 75-year-old woman who presented with lower gastrointestinal bleeding and abdominal discomfort. A polyp was removed from the low-lying rectum during colonoscopy. After immunohistochemical staining and microscopic examination, it was diagnosed as melanoma. Conclusion: In light of primary melanoma in sun-shielded regions such as the rectum, theories of causation other than sun exposure merit consideration. Factors such as genetics, immunosuppression, and virus infections, as well as ultraviolet radiation, may play a role in the etiology of melanoma.
