Primary malignant melanoma of the female urethra comprises 0.2% of all melanomas and has poor prognosis. In the period 1972-1992, 75 cases of primary urethra carcinomas were treated at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute. Among them, only an 80-year-old woman was diagnosed with primary malignant melanoma. Despite conservative treatment, she lived for 7 years. We believe that local surgical excision can be an option for treatment in selected patients as it retains quality of life.
女性尿道原发性恶性黑色素瘤占所有黑色素瘤的0.2%，预后较差。1972年至1992年期间，罗斯韦尔帕克癌症研究所共治疗了75例原发性尿道癌患者。其中，只有一名80岁的女性被诊断为原发性恶性黑色素瘤。尽管采取了保守治疗，她还是存活了7年。我们认为，对于部分患者，局部手术切除可以作为一种治疗选择，因为它能保留生活质量。
