Abstract

Anal melanoma is a rare and aggressive neoplasm of the anal canal seen in the elderly population in the six or seventh decade of their lives. Presentation is usually nonspecific and diagnosis is often delayed or missed initially. The management is surgical and prognosis is poor. Here we present a case of anal melanoma in an elderly patient masquerading as hemorrhoid.
