title: Primary malignant melanoma of urinary bladder.
abstract: We report a case of primary malignant melanoma of the urinary bladder. Exclusion of other sites of melanoma confirmed the primary character of the tumor, and careful histologic examination proved it to be malignant melanoma. Six previously reported cases of bladder melanoma are reviewed. Therapy and prognosis are discussed.
