| contents | Esophageal Melanocytosis Samikshya Thapa Gajendra Kumar Yadav Ratna Mondal Ravi Hari Phulware Medicina Melanins Esophagus Endoscopy Gastrointestinal Esophageal Mucosa Esophageal melanocytosis is a rare entity defined by the proliferation of a melanocytic basal layer of the esophageal squamous lining and deposition of melanin in the esophageal mucosa. Esophageal melanocytosis is considered a benign entity of unknown etiology; however, it has been reported as a melanoma precursor. We report a case of esophageal melanocytosis in a diabetic and hypertensive 67-year-old male with recurrent dizziness and syncope for the past 6 months. Given his complaint of dyspepsia, he underwent an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, in which an esophageal biopsy revealed the diagnosis of esophageal melanocytosis. The definitive diagnosis of esophageal melanocytosis can only be made by histological analysis. The histologic differential diagnoses include melanocytic nevi and malignant melanoma. Therefore, they need to be ruled out. 2024 artículo científico 2236-1960 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=576077572022 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5760/576077572022/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5760/576077572022/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5760/576077572022/576077572022.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5760/576077572022/movil 10.4322/acr.2024.487 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5760 Autopsy and Case Reports application/pdf Hospital Universitário da Universidade de São Paulo Autopsy and Case Reports (Brasil) Vol.14 |
