Vulvar melanoma with urethral invasion and bladder metastases - a case report and review of the literature.

Abstract

Vulvar melanoma is an aggressive neoplasm with a poor prognosis. Approximately 25% to 50% of patients survive 5 years [1]. This malignancy is prone to late metastasis, so 5-year survival does not equal cure. The management of recurrent disease continues to be experimental and individualized [2].
