Abstract
- Malignant melanoma is usually a neoplasm of the skin and mucous membranes which is relatively rare, comprising 1% of all cancers. In women, approximately 3% of malignant melanoma are located in the genitalia with the vast majority occuring in the vulva and very rarely on the ovary, uterus, and uterine cervix. Opinions about its histogenesis, diagnostic criteria and elective treatment are controversial, because of rare manifestation. We report a case of primary malignant melanoma of uterine cervix with a brief review of the literature.
