RESUMO
Anorectal melanoma is a rare and aggressive malignant neoplasm with an indolent course, manifesting with nonspecific symptoms and a poor prognosis. We present a case of anorectal melanoma that was initially treated as hemorrhoids and correctly diagnosed after lower gastrointestinal endoscopy. We also present the latest findings in the literature about anorectal melanomas and discuss updates about treatment options and management.
RESUMO
Postoperative wound care can be troublesome, time consuming, and expensive. Patients often are unable to personally take proper care of their wounds at home, leading to complications. We describe the use of a comfortable, effective, and simple technique for wound dressings after dermatologic surgery in patients who are vulnerable to wound complications.
