Primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus.

abstract：:Malignant melanomas usually have an unfavourable prognosis and poor response to chemotherapy. Deregulation of cell proliferation, programmed cell death and intercellular interactions are among several important mechanisms that might lead to malignant transformation of melanocytes and melanoma progression.
