Abstract Bladder metastasis of cutaneous malignant melanoma is an extremely rare condition, with less than 10 cases reported in the last 30 years in the English literature. Bladder localization is most often asymptomatic, explaining the frequency of cases discovered during autopsy in multi-metastatic patients. We report a case of symptomatic malignant melanoma metastasis to the bladder in a 31-year-old patient.

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. In order to analyse the clinical, paraclinical and therapeutic characteristics of primary anorectal melanoma.

Crying with bloody tear, called haemolacria is a very rare condition in medical practice. There are many conditions such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, trauma (accidental or induced), factors deficiencies, infections (Epstein Barr virus or bacterial), tumours (malignant melanoma or haemangioma), conjunctival telangiectasia, Rendu-Oslar-Weber disease related to haemolacria. But idiopathic haemolacria may occur in some cases. In our case report, a 17-year-old girl presented with idiopathic bilateral haemolacria and gum bleeding associated with pseudoseizure and psychogenic hyperventilation who was treated and well responded to adequate counselling and Amitriptyline.

Background: Malignant melanoma (MM) usually present with metastases to unexpected regions of the body. Metastatic MM is a highly lethal condition, and the median survival in this setting is 6 to 7.5 months; however, few reports rarely describe long-term after chemotherapy.Case Report: We describe a 31-year-old man with MM, which got metastatic (to paranasal sinuses) after local and systemic therapy showed complete responses with long-term survival after endonasal endoscopic metastasectomy and radiotherapy of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and base of the skull.Conclusion: Although long-term survival is rare, few reports describe cases after chemotherapy. MM could be associated with metastasis to any regions and clinicians should be aware of its behavior and perform complete investigation in the presence of any suspicious symptoms, and this should be reinforced periodically. However, the survival is poor in the metastatic setting, and the treatment of choice is debatable, some patients may benefit from metastasectomy and local radiotherapy. [GMJ.2018;7:e860]
