title: Melanoma of the vulva.
abstract: This study evaluated the prognostic value of different morphologic tumor parameters in 13 cases of malignant melanoma. Tumor thickness correlated well with survival. The prognostic index--tumor thickness multiplied by the number of mitoses per square millimeter--was useful in predicting metastasis risk.
