Abstract
Primary malignant melanoma of the cervix, a rare neoplasm occurs in a wide age range, from 19–83 years [1]. Of these only about 9–13 % involve the cervix, rest of them involve the vulva and vagina [2]. Vaginal bleeding or discharge is the commonest mode of presentation. Cervical melanoma is thought to arise from the melanocytic cells of the cervix. Occasional tumors are detected during routine clinical examination by a cervical smear or the discovery of a distant metastasis [2]. The tumors are usually polypoid and red, brown, gray, black, or blue. Frequently, they are ulcerated. About 25 % of cases are amelanotic. We present a rare case of primary malignant melanoma arising in the cervix.
