title: [Malignant melanoma of the vagina].
abstract: The authors present the case of a malignant melanoma of the vagina. Simultaneously was noted a pigmented nodule on the left lower eyelid. This tumour was also diagnosed as a malignant melanoma. On the 38-year-old female patient a radical abdominal hysterectomy with total colpectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy was performed. Thereafter the tumour of the left eyelid was excised and a bilateral groin dissection was performed. One left inguinal lymph node was pathologically positive involved. In addition the patient was subsequently treated with chemotherapy. She had a disease-free interval of 29 months following the radical surgery. Actual aspects of the therapy of this disease are discussed.
