Abstract

Primary rectal melanoma is a rare disease that requires a high index of clinical suspicion when faced with unusual colonoscopic findings. We present the case of a 67-year-old gentleman who had a primary rectal melanoma discovered on a colonoscopy to investigate bright rectal bleeding. No other sources of primary disease were discovered clinically or radiologically pre-operatively suggesting that this was a true site of primary disease. He went on to have an abdomino-perineal resection and made an uneventful recovery.
