[Primary melanoma of the uterine cervix in a 19 year old woman--case report].
Only 5% of all melanocytic malignancies in women originate in the genitalia, the most unusual of which is melanoma involving the uterine cervix.


METHODS
a 19 year old woman, presented with abnormal genital bleeding. In our hospital the clinical examination showed an exophytic bleeding tumor growing in the cervix uteri. A first vaginal biopsy showed a sarcoma colli uteri. A new biopsy confirmed the clinical diagnosis of malignant melanoma. Subsequently a Wertheim-Meigs hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy and removal of upper half of the vagina and regional lymphadenectomy was performed. Next the patient received several courses of chemotherapy (DTIC).
