This is a German case report of 12 patients with malignant melanoma of the vagina. Their median age is 58.3 years. Four out of 12 patients have been treated by radical surgery alone. In 8 patients surgery was restricted to a wide excision. In four cases additional brachytherapy was performed. The prognosis of malignant melanoma of the vagina is extremely poor. Three patients survived for two years following primary therapy. All patients died within 6.5 years after diagnosis and initial treatment. In our experience and according to literature radical surgery seemingly achieves the best results within the limited prognosis of this disease.
这是一篇关于12例阴道恶性黑色素瘤患者的德国病例报告。他们的中位年龄为58.3岁。12例患者中有4例仅接受了根治性手术治疗。8例患者的手术仅限于广泛切除。4例患者还接受了近距离放疗。阴道恶性黑色素瘤的预后极差。3例患者在初始治疗后存活了两年。所有患者在诊断和初始治疗后6.5年内均死亡。根据我们的经验以及文献报道，在这种疾病有限的预后范围内，根治性手术似乎能取得最佳效果。
