title: [Primary malignant melanoma of the uterine cervix--case report and review of the literature].
abstract: We present a case of primary malignant melanoma of the cervix uteri. The prognosis of this very rare tumor is rather poor. Radical abdominal hysterectomy combined with partial colpectomy, bilateral adnexectomy and dissection of the pelvine lymph-nodes seems to improve the clinical outcome even if an additional brachytherapy is added.
