description | Primary malignant melanoma of the female genital tract is an extremely rare tumor. It most commonly affects the vulva then the cervix and the vagina. Vulvar cancer accounts for about 1% (all sites) of melanomas. In order of frequency, it occurs in the vagina, uterus and ovary. Less than 200 cases of vulvar cancers have been described worldwide. We here report a clinical case of malignant vulvar melanoma in a 72-year-old postmenopausal woman. Partial hemivulvectomy and bilateral superficial inguinal lymphadenectomy were performed. The postoperative course was favorable and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 15. |
