Métastases gastroduodénales du mélanome malin

Gastroduodenal metastases of malignant melanoma

  • Published:
Acta Endoscopica

Résumé

Les auteurs rapportent trois nouvelles observations de métastases gastroduodénales de mélanome malin. Ils analysent et discutent les données de la radiologie standard et en double-contraste, de l'endoscopie et des biopsies gastroduodénales.

Les lésions observées en endoscopie sont polymorphes et ne procurent un diagnostic étiologique qu'en cas de lésions pigmentées. Le diagnostic histologique est facilité par les biopsies au niveau des plages pigmentées mais reste possible sur des prélèvements achromiques. Les lésions gastroduodénales témoignent d'une dissémination métastatique terminale et les auteurs proposent une surveillance endoscopique et radiologique des patients après exérèse de la lésion primitive.

Summary

The authors report upon three new observations of gastroduodenal metastases of malignant melanoma. They analyse and discuss the data obtained from standard and double-contrast radiology, from endoscopy and gastroduodenal biopsies. The lesions observed under endoscopic examination are polymorphous and provide an etiological diagnosis only where pigmented lesions are concerned. Histological diagnosis is facilitated through biopsies at the level of the pigmented areas while it remains feasible, nevertheless, by way of achromic biopsies. The gastroduodenal lesions bear witness to a terminal metastatic dissemination and the authors suggest an endoscopic and radiologic observation of the patients subsequent to exeresis of the original lesion.
