Primary Mucosal Malignant Melanoma

AbstractPrimary mucosal malignant melanoma (PMML) of the larynx continues to be a rare entity. To date, there are few cases reported in the world literature consisting of mainly isolated case reports and literature reviews.Traditionally believed to be radioresistant, we present a case of PMML of the right vocal fold managed with right cordectomy and adjuvant radiotherapy. The patient is well without any evidence of local recurrence or metastasis three years and four months from presentation.

<p>Primary mucosal melanoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is a very aggressive and rare disease with only about 0.5 % of malignant melanoma arising from the nasal cavity. There are only few reports from India. We report a rare case of sino-nasal mucosal malignant melanoma in a 58 years old female who presented with blackish coloured sino-nasal mass involving right nasal cavity, spontaneous and recurrent epistaxis and obliteration of the right naso-labial fold with occasional pain in the past 10 months. Contrast enhanced computed tomography scan showed a heterogenous mass involving right nasal cavity, right maxillary antrum and right ethmoidal area. A positron emission tomography computed tomography was also done which showed increased uptake in the region mentioned above. Initial biopsy, the mass was diagnosed as malignant melanoma. Total maxillectomy was performed with plan of post-operative radiotherapy.</p>

Background. Small cell carcinoma (SCC) of the gallbladder is a rare entity and is often seen in elderly women. SCC of gallbladder is typically a nonsecretory carcinoid tumor without overt clinical symptoms and is often discovered at advanced stages. SCC of gallbladder carries a dismal prognosis as compared to SCC of lung and adenocarcinoma of gallbladder. To date, only 73 case reports have been published in the world literature.Case Presentation. Herein, we report a case of a 73-year-old Saudi woman who presented with one week history of right upper quadrant abdominal pain and obstructive jaundice and was found to be a case of locally advanced, metastatic SCC of gallbladder cT4N1M1 (liver, para-aortic lymph nodes, and bone). The patient was treated with neoadjuvant etoposide and cisplatin (EP) chemotherapy three cycles after biliary stenting followed by radical cholecystectomy, lymphadenectomy, and adjuvant EP chemotherapy and then one year later developed distal humerus osseous metastasis.Conclusion. SCC of the gallbladder is very rare entity and is often seen at advanced stages. Osseous metastases of peripheral skeleton from SCC gallbladder are rarely reported. Surgery is curative option but only for early stage tumors. Incorporation of chemotherapy along with radical resection increases the survival.

Primary pineal malignant melanoma is a rare entity, with only thirteen cases reported in the world literature to date. We report a case of a 70-year-old man, who consulted with gait disturbance of six months duration, associated in the last month with dizziness, visual abnormalities and diplopia. No other additional melanocytic lesions were found elsewhere. The magnetic resonance showed a 25 mm expansive mass in the pineal gland that was associated with hydrocephaly, ventricular and transependimary oedema. The lesion was partially excised by a supracerebellar infratentorial approach. The histological examination revealed a melanoma. The patient received radiation therapy, but died of disease 16 weeks later. We herein review the literature on this rare tumour and comment on its clinical, radiological and histopathological features and differential diagnosis.

Disseminated Disease

We report a case of primary melanoma of the larynx in a patient who died of disseminated disease 13 months later. It is a rare malignant tumor in the head and neck, accounting for 0.4-10% of all melanomas of this site. Histologically, the presence of in situ changes within the laryngeal mucosa strongly supports our diagnosis of primary melanoma of the larynx.
