Abstract
Melanoma can develop both on the skin and in the mucosa at different levels: respiratory, gastrointestinal or genital, due to the melanocyte content of these tissues. In most cases, the prognosis of melanoma at the mucosal level has a much worse prognosis compared to that for melanoma at the tegument level. Symptoms described by patients with vulvar melanoma include bleeding, itching, vaginal discharge, dyspareunia or a palpable / visible tumor formation. We present the case of a 56-year-old, presented to our service with macula about 3.5 cm in diameter, dark brown color, and irregular edges, located at the level of the upper pole of the vulva.
