Anorectal melanoma: Report of two cases
Anorectal melanoma is a rare pathology, and its prognosis is poor due to the frequent presence of metastatic forms at the time of diagnosis. Surgery, whether through abdominoperineal amputation or wide local excision, is the treatment of choice for these tumors. The use of radiotherapy (RT) is controversial and is currently indicated either as hypofractionated therapy following local excision (EL) or as palliative treatment.
