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.
