Rectal Melanoma

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.

The most common site for malignant melanoma is skin, then eye and third is anorectal region. Primary anorectal malignant melanoma is still very uncommon. It is usually very aggressive and presents with altered bowel habit and rectal bleeding. Proctoscopy shows non-pigmented or lightly pigmented polypoid lesion. Histopathology is confirmatory. Early radical excision is mandatory. A 56 year-old female was presented with malignant melanoma of the lower third of rectum. We report this case for its rarity.

Histopathologic Features

Duodenal melanoma constitutes a very small number of gastrointestinal malignant melanomas. The small intestine is a common site for the metastatic spread of cutaneous melanomas; however, its metastatic involvement from a primary rectal melanoma origin has seldom been reported. We present the histopathologic features of an unusual case of primary rectal melanoma metastasizing to the duodenum.

Primary rectal melanoma is a rare malignant tumor with an aggressive course and poor prognosis. The article describes a clinical observation demonstrating the successful comprehensive treatment of primary rectal melanoma. A patient with a complicated course of rectal melanoma, stage IV of the first stage was performed by surgical treatment with removal of the external intestine according to the Hartmann type with removal of the uterine appendages from both sides of the en-block, and resection of the left pelvic plexus. In the postoperative period, the patient underwent chemoembolization of the liver with combined immunotherapy. The patient is alive two years after the operation; there is no evidence for local recurrence and progression of the disease.

Rectal Mass

Ano-rectal melanoma is extremely rare and has dismal prognosis when compared to cutaneous melanomas. It presents as ano-rectal mass and patients usually complain of passing blood in stools. Being, a highly aggressive neoplasm, widespread metastasis is common, which can be seen even at the time of diagnosis. Here, we present a case report of ano-rectal melanoma in a 40-year old male, who presented with complaints of anal growth since one month. Initially, a clinical diagnosis of rectal carcinoma was suspected. However, biopsy of the growth showed histomorphological features of melanoma, which were confirmed on immunohistochemistry.

Pure Tone Audiogram

Purpose Misophonia is a sound tolerance disorder condition in certain sounds that trigger intense emotional or physiological responses. While some persons may experience misophonia, a few patients suffer from misophonia. However, there is a dearth of literature on audiological assessment and management of persons with misophonia. The purpose of this report is to discuss the assessment of misophonia and highlight the management option that helped a patient with misophonia. Method A case study of a 26-year-old woman with the complaint of decreased tolerance to specific sounds affecting quality of life is reported. Audiological assessment differentiated misophonia from hyperacusis. Management included retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy based on the principles described by P. J. Jastreboff and Jastreboff (2014). A misophonia questionnaire was administered at regular intervals to monitor the effectiveness of therapy. Results A detailed case history and audiological evaluations including pure-tone audiogram and Johnson Hyperacusis Index revealed the presence of misophonia. The patient benefitted from intervention, and the scores of the misophonia questionnaire indicated a decrease in the severity of the problem. Conclusions It is important to differentially diagnose misophonia and hyperacusis in persons with sound tolerance disorders. Retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy can help patients who suffer from misophonia.

This case report describes the positive outcome of a therapeutic intervention that integrated an intensive, residential component with follow-up telepractice for a 21 year old male who stutters. This therapy utilized an eclectic approach to intensive therapy in conjunction with a 12-month follow-up via video telepractice. The results indicated that the client benefited from the program as demonstrated by a reduction in percent stuttered syllables, a reduction in stuttering severity, and a change in attitudes and feelings related to stuttering and speaking.

Extract Information

Real-time amplitude contour and spectral displays were used in teaching speech production skills to a profoundly deaf, nonspeaking boy. This child had a visual attention problem, a behavior problem, and a poor academic record. In individual instruction, he was first taught to produce features of speech, for example, friction, nasal, and stop, which are present in vocalizations of 6- to 9-month-old infants, and then to combine these features in syllables and words. He made progress in speech, although sign language and finger spelling were taught at the same time. Speech production skills were retained after instruction was terminated. The results suggest that deaf children are able to extract information about the features of speech from visual displays, and that a developmental sequence should be followed as far as possible in teaching speech production skills to them.
