title: [Anorectal malignant melanomas. Apropos of 2 new cases].
abstract: Clinical and therapeutic characteristics of anorectal melanoma have been studied about 2 new cases. The initial symptoms were often misdiagnosed with hemorrhoids disease. This cancer carries a bad prognosis but the best treatment seems to be abdominoperineal resection (APR) when the thickness of the melanoma is under 3 mm. Over this limit, APR alone will not cure this disease. Curative treatment will probably involve a combined therapy with local and systemic therapies.
