Abstract:
Primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus is extremely rare, but must be included in the differential diagnosis of polypoid esophageal mass, when such a lesion is observed on radiological examination. We report here a case of primary malignant melanoma in the esophagus that was noted to have strong enhancement on CT and high signal intensity on the T1 weighted MR image.
