Malignant melanoma of the rectum is an extremely rare disease. It typically presents in the fifth or sixth decade predominantly in female sex. The first symptoms are nonspecific such as bleeding, anal mass or pain. A timely diagnosis of melanoma is made even more difficult due to lack of obvious pigmentation and histologically amelanotic. Anorectal malignant melanoma spread along submucosal planes and are often beyond complete resection at the time of diagnosis. Prognosis is very poor. We present a rare case of malignant melanoma of rectum in a 21-year-old male, who was diagnosed at advanced stage, and a case of malignant melanoma in a 50-year-old male, who underwent abdominoperineal resection with permanent colostomy. Anorectal malignant melanoma is difficult to diagnose and prognosis is poor.

Sixth Decade

Malignant melanoma of the rectum is an extremely rare disease. It typically presents in the fifth or sixth decade of life with nonspecific complaints such as rectal bleeding or anal pain. A timely diagnosis of anal melanoma is made even more difficult by the fact that most of the lesions lack obvious pigmentation and are even histologically amelanotic. Prognosis is very poor. Anorectal malignant melanomas spread along submucosal planes and are often beyond complete resection at the time of diagnosis. We present the radiological and pathological features seen in a 43-year-old woman diagnosed with melanoma of the rectum.

Among the common skin cancers, melanoma is the most lethal. Although, it comprises only 3% of all skin cancers diagnosed , it accounts for about  75% of all skin cancer-related deaths. Melanoma is a relatively uncommon skin cancer in geographical locations like India. Its highest incidence is seen in sixth decade . Head and neck melanomas constitute approximately 17% of all cutaneous melanomas .We present a 15 year old male patient who presented with a intracranial melanoma with osteolytic skull lesion.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.7(5) 2016 91-93

Malignant melanoma of the anorectum is a rare disorder. Patients often present with local symptoms similar to benign diseases. The prognosis is very poor, and almost all patients die because of metastases. We report 2 female patients with unremarkable histories. Both of them received previous operations before visiting our center after they were diagnosed with anorectal malignant melanoma. One case underwent abdominoperineal resection and postoperative chemotherapy. The other had been treated with ultralow anterior resection followed by immunotherapy.
