There is approximately 300 cases of malignant melanoma written in the world literature. We write up 13 operated from us for 15 years cases of melanoma of the anus and rectum. The neoplastic localization is usually at linea dentate area. The patients complains are foreign-body filling and rectohaemorrhagy. This formation considers like haemorrhoid frequently. The pain is not common symptom but ulceration occurs in many percent. The metastasing is in the inguinal lymph nodes. The tumor colour is between light-brown to red-purple in 50% of the cases. The colouring matter is absent in the other half of the cases and these tumors consider like nonpigmentous melanoes. Despite the complex treatment--surgical, chemotherapy etc. the prognosis is at large poor.

D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.
