Primary malignant melanoma (PMM) of the urinary bladder is a rare disease. Symptoms include gross hematuria and irritative LUTS. The diagnosis is made with cystoscopy and TURBT. Treatment options include TURBT and adjuvant therapies. We present a 61-year-old female who was referred with persistent irritative LUTS without gross or microscopic hematuria. After undergoing cystoscopy, TURBT, and extensive workup, she was diagnosed with PMM of the urinary bladder. Due to her past medical history, recurrent PMM of the urinary bladder was the final diagnosis. She refused to receive further treatment or refer for follow-up.
膀胱原发性恶性黑色素瘤(PMM)是一种罕见疾病。症状包括肉眼血尿和刺激性下尿路症状(LUTS)。通过膀胱镜检查和经尿道膀胱肿瘤切除术(TURBT)进行诊断。治疗选择包括TURBT和辅助治疗。我们报告一名61岁女性,因持续存在刺激性LUTS就诊,无肉眼或镜下血尿。在接受膀胱镜检查、TURBT及全面检查后,她被诊断为膀胱PMM。鉴于她的既往病史,最终诊断为复发性膀胱PMM。她拒绝接受进一步治疗或转诊进行随访。
