Primary anorectal malignant melanoma is an extremely rare condition. It appears at the third highest frequency after melanomas of the skin and retina. Its prognosis is dreadful because of the early onset of metastases. The treatment remains essentially surgical. We report an observation of primitive anorectal melanoma, collected at the department of surgery for digestive cancers and liver transplantation of the Ibn Rochd University Hospital of Casablanca, with a review of the literature.

Thyroglossal Duct Carcinoma

ABSTRACT Objective: To report a case of thyroglossal duct carcinoma with concurrent papillary thyroid carcinoma Methods: Design: Case Report Setting: Tertiary National University Hospital Patient: One Results: A 46-year-old woman was diagnosed with thyroglossal duct carcinoma after undergoing a Sistrunk procedure. Due to presence of thyroid nodules, the patient underwent second stage thyroidectomy with central neck dissection which revealed papillary thyroid carcinoma. Conclusion: Thyroglossal duct carcinomas are rare entities and there is no current consensus regarding their management. Difficulties arise in the diagnosis of these tumors as they present similarly to benign thyroglossal duct cysts. Most cases are diagnosed postoperatively. Proper preoperative assessment including head and neck examination, biopsy, and radiologic imaging is necessary to recognize patients who could benefit from more aggressive management.
