Abstract:
Anorectal malignant melanoma (ARMM) is a rare malignant melanoma arising from mucosa in anorectal area. Symptoms and signs of ARMM are not specific, causing high misdiagnosis rate in this disease. Cornerstone treatment of ARMM is radical excision. Although more systematic therapy including target therapy and immunotherapy have been applied to ARMM, as the understanding of ARMM deepens. The overall prognosis of ARMM is still poor due to the lack of accurate clinical classification and staging standards.
