This study details a successful abdominoperineal resection and Sentinel Lymph Node biopsy for anorectal melanoma, achieving a disease-free outcome. Sentinel Lymph Node biopsy enhances nodal staging accuracy and can guide treatment decisions for this rare cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Melanoma Research
  • Gastrointestinal Oncology

Background:

  • Anorectal melanoma is a rare malignancy with controversial surgical management.
  • Accurate staging and understanding lymphatic spread are critical for effective treatment.

Observation:

  • A case report of a patient with pT4aN0 anorectal melanoma treated with abdominoperineal resection and Sentinel Lymph Node (SLN) biopsy.
  • The patient remained disease-free for 50 months post-treatment.

Findings:

  • Sentinel Lymph Node biopsy improves the accuracy of nodal staging in anorectal melanoma.
  • SLN mapping facilitates precise surgical excision of lymphatic drainage basins.
  • Early identification of nodal metastasis via SLN biopsy enables targeted lymphadenectomy, potentially reducing regional recurrence.

Implications:

  • Sentinel Lymph Node biopsy offers a more accurate method for staging anorectal melanoma.
  • This technique may improve patient outcomes by enabling tailored therapeutic strategies and reducing recurrence rates.
  • Findings support the comparison of different surgical approaches (abdominoperineal resection vs. local excision) based on precise nodal status and tumor characteristics.
