title: Malignant melanoma of the uterine cervix: a case report.
abstract: We present case of a 57-year-old Japanese woman a 9 cm-size primary malignant melanoma of the uterine cervix. MRI demonstrated a low-signal T1-weighted spin echo image and hyperperfusion indicated by Gd-DTPA enhancement. The sequence analysis of the MTS1/CDK4I gene revealed no deletion or mutation. The results of cytological, pathological, and electron microscopy tests are also presented.
