Abstract

Malignant melanomas of the vulva and vagina are rare tumors located in areas of the body not exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Vulval melanoma is the second most common vulval malignancy after squamous cell carcinoma but represents less than 1% of all melanomas. Because of the overall poor prognosis, it represents a significant issue in women’s health. We present a case of a 40-year-old woman with malignant melanoma of vulva with spread to the inguinal lymph nodes, aortic lymph nodes, and secondaries in the lung.
