Abstract
Rectal melanoma is an extremely rare disease which can be aggressive invading locally and metastasize during the cause of disease. Hereby, we are reporting a case of a lady presented to us with anal mass sensation since 2-month duration. Per rectal examination revealed mass about 3cm from anal verge with a melanotic skin lesion at perianal region. Colonoscopy done revealed anorectal mass 2cm from anal verge and biopsied which revealed malignant melanoma and subsequently we proceeded with abdominal perineal resection (APR).
