[Rare site of malignant melanoma].
Primary melanoma of the vagina is a rare tumor associated with a poor prognosis. We report on a 82 years old woman with a malignant melanoma of the vagina. The treatment performed was the removal of the vaginal tumor and a hemivulvectomy followed by a chemotherapy over 6 month. A recurrence of the tumor and the development of metastases in the brain and in the lungs was observed 3 weeks after the end of the chemotherapy. The patient expired 10 month after the primary treatment.
