Zusammenfassung: | Vulvar malignant melanoma is the second most common subtype of vulvar cancer, accounting for 5–10% of all vulvar cancers. The prognosis is still very poor, although some advances have been achieved in the last years.

In this article, we review the surgical management of the pathology, based on the comment of 3 cases with vulvar melanoma treated at our institution. |
