Primary male genital melanomas are very rare; they are associated with high mortality and late detection. Scrotal melanoma is the least common presentation and only 23 cases have been reported. Herein, the authors present a 30-year-old patient with stage IIIC (T4b, N2a, M0) scrotal melanoma in order to report the characteristics, treatment, and outcome, as well as to emphasize the importance of examination of the genitals, education of patients about self-examination and destigmatizing genital lesions to increase the likelihood of earlier detection.
原发性男性生殖器黑色素瘤非常罕见；它们与高死亡率和晚期发现有关。阴囊黑色素瘤是最不常见的表现形式，仅报告过23例。在此，作者介绍一名30岁患有IIIC期（T4b，N2a，M0）阴囊黑色素瘤的患者，以报告其特征、治疗和结果，并强调生殖器检查、对患者进行自我检查教育以及消除对生殖器病变的污名化以提高早期发现可能性的重要性。
