Malignant melanoma of the urethra is a rare tumour that is difficult to diagnose and treat, resulting in a poor prognosis. In this paper, we present the case of a 65-year-old woman who was referred to a gynaecologist because of a urethral mass that mimicked a caruncle. The tumour was removed by local excision, and a pathological analysis revealed a malignant melanoma. Distal urethrectomy was performed after three months with no evidence of residual tumour. There was no evidence of disease at a six-year followup. In this paper, we compare the epidemiology, treatment, staging, and prognosis of vulvar cancer in general to malignant melanoma of the vulva in particular.
尿道恶性黑色素瘤是一种罕见肿瘤，难以诊断和治疗，预后较差。在本文中，我们报告了一例65岁女性病例，该患者因尿道肿物疑似小阜而被转诊至妇科医生处。通过局部切除将肿瘤切除，病理分析显示为恶性黑色素瘤。三个月后进行了远端尿道切除术，未发现残留肿瘤迹象。六年随访时无疾病迹象。在本文中，我们总体比较了外阴癌尤其是外阴恶性黑色素瘤的流行病学、治疗、分期和预后。
