Abstract
Herein we report a rare case of primary esophageal malignant melanoma in a 56-year-old gentleman who presented with a 2-month dysphagea. Esophagoscopy reveals a polypoid tumor and a total thoracic esophagectomy was performed through a right thoracotomy and esophageal replacement with stomach. The tumor was proven to be a primary esophageal malignant melanoma by histological and immunohistochemical studies. The pathologic stage was IIa. He received no postoperative adjuvant therapy. He died of liver metastasis at 8 months postoperatively.
