D Xinopoulos et al. Dig Liver Dis. 2001 Apr.

Primary melanoma is a rare neoplasm of the oesophagus, with dismal outcome in most cases. We report a case of primary melanoma of the oesophagus treated endoscopically, as coexisting illness prohibited surgical resection of the tumour. A review of the literature is made.
