A 60-year-old woman came to the Emergency Department complaining of a vaginal formation. The urologist suspected a urethral caruncle: the patient was discharged with vaginal oestrogen cream to relieve symptoms and a follow-up was suggested. After two months the patient returned to the Emergency Department since the mass was increasing in volume and complaining of dysuria and haematuria. Ultrasound, contrast-enhanced computed tomography, and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance revealed a mass arising from the mucosa and involving the vulva and the urethra, suspicious of malignancy. We present a challenging diagnosis of an infiltrative and rapidly progressive primary vulval amelanotic melanoma with a complete imaging evaluation and a confirmed histological diagnosis.
一位 60 岁女性因阴道肿块至急诊就诊。泌尿科医生怀疑尿道肉阜,予阴道雌激素乳膏缓解症状,并建议随诊。两个月后,患者因肿块增大,出现尿痛和血尿再次至急诊就诊。超声、增强 CT 和增强 MRI 提示肿块源于阴道黏膜,累及外阴和尿道,怀疑恶性肿瘤。我们报告了一例具有挑战性的浸润性、快速进展性原发性外阴无黑色素瘤性黑色素瘤,进行了全面的影像学评估和明确的组织学诊断。
