RESUMEN
El Melanoma Maligno Primario de Esófago es una neoplasia muy rara, de comportamiento agresivo y pobre pronostico, generalmente diagnosticada en estadío avanzado. La cirugía (esofagectomía) es el tratamiento de elección cuando es operable por lo que la única manera de mejorar el pronóstico es la identificación de las lesiones en estadios tempranos y el reconocimiento de lesiones no típicas. Generalmente se presentan como masas grandes, de aspecto proliferativo, ulceradas y pigmentadas nosotros presentamos un caso clínico cuya presentación endoscópica fue de una lesión elevada protruida sésil (Clasificación de Paris Tipo 0-Is), amelanocitico de 4 mm de tamaño, con superficie lisa, rosada, bordes regulares (mucosa de tumor con apariencia de mucosa esofágica normal) que inicialmente no pudo ser identificado pues el paciente ingreso por Hemorragia Digestiva Alta debido a esofagitis péptica Los Ángeles D. No se detectaron lesiones cutáneas, en mucosas u oculares. La tomografía espiral multicorte abdomino torácico no mostro metástasis.
ABSTRACT
Primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus is a rare, aggressive and poor-prognostic neoplasm, usually detected in late stages. Surgery (esophagectomy) is the treatment of choice when operable and the only factor that improves the disease prognosis is the detection of the lesions in early stages and the recognition of non-typical lesions. Most commonly, Melanoma lesions appear as large masses with proliferative, ulcerated and pigmented aspect. We report a clinical case whose endoscopic presentation was an elevated, protruding and sessile lesion (Paris Classification Type 0- Is), amelanocytic, size of 4mm, smooth surface, pink and with regular borders (mucosa of tumor with a normal esophagic mucosa appearance). This lesion initially could not be identified because the patient was admitted due to upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by peptic esophagitis Grade D according to Los Angeles Classification. After histological analysis and immunohistochemistry of the lesion, melanoma was diagnosed. No skin, mucous or ocular lesions were found and multislice spiral computed tomography of thorax and abdomen did not show any metastasis.
