Abstract
Primary melanoma of the esophagus is rare. Until 1990, eight cases had been reported in Spain. We report two patients, 50 and 61-year-old men. Melanomas were located in the distal esophagus and were polypoid (5-6 cm), pediculated and pigmented. Endoscopic biopsy was diagnostic in both cases. Fontana staining technique and monoclonal HMB-45 and S-100 antibodies were used. A revision of clinical characteristics, treatment and survival of the patients with primary melanoma of the esophagus in our country is made.
