ABSTRACT
Primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus (PMME) is an extremely rare tumor with only scattered case reports. The treatment of choice is surgical resection. However, the prognosis is poor. Recently we experienced one case of primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus in a 60-year-old male patient. Esophagectomy and intrathoracic esophagogastrostomy were perfomed. The patient was discharged without specific complications.
